*Before using batteries, read the following
precaution for each type
of
battery.
As
for
unsupported
batteries,
operating
perfonnance
cannot
be
ensured
if
voltage
drops
or
other
problems
are
caused
by
the
nature
of
the
battery.
On
alkaline
batteries
(supplied)/Oxy
Nickel
Primary
Battery
(not
supplied)
• Alkaline batteries/Oxy Nickel Primary Battery
cannot be charged.
• Alkaline batteries/Oxy Nickel Primary Battery
have a shorter life compared to the Nickel-Metal
Hydride batteries. For this reason, the power
may tum off even though the battery remaining
indicator shows sufficient battery life remaining.
• Battery performance differs greatly depending
on the manufacturer and the type
of
battery, and
in some cases the battery life may be extremely
short. This
is
especially true at low
temperatures, and you may not be able to shoot
at temperatures below
SoC
(41°F).
• Do not mix new and old batteries.
• The battery remaining indicator may not display
the correct information when using alkaline
batteries/Oxy Nickel Primary Battery.
• Due to characteristics
of
alkaline batteries/Oxy
Nickel Primary Battery, there is a large
difference between the available shooting time
and the available playback time. For this reason,
the camera may tum offwith the lens portion
extended when you switch the mode dial. In this
case, replace the batteries with new ones. Using
the Nickel-Metal Hydride batteries allows you
to shoot for longer periods
of
time.
On
Nickel-Metal
Hydride
batteries
(not
supplied)
• Do not peel off the external seals
or
damage the
batteries. Never use batteries from which the
seals have been partially or completely
removed, or batteries that have been split
in
any
way. These may cause leakage, explosion,
or
heat-up
of
the battery, and personal scald or
injury may be caused. These may cause a
malfunction
of
the battery charger.
• Do not carry or store the Nickel-Metal Hydride
batteries with metallic objects. Since metallic
objects may short the
+ and - ends, resulting in
the risk
of
heating or fire.
•
If
the poles
of
the Nickel-Metal Hydride
batteries are dirty, the batteries may not charge
properly. Wipe them with a dry cloth, etc.
• At the time
of
purchase, or when the Nickel- .
Metal Hydride batteries have not been used for a
long time, they may not full charge. This is
typical
of
this type
of
battery, and
is
not a
malfunction.
If
this happens, repeatedly using
up the batteries fully, and then recharging them
should correct the problem.
•
If
you recharge Nickel-Metal Hydride batteries
before fully using up the existing charge, the
low battery warning may be displayed sooner
than expected. This is called the "memory
effect."*
If
this problem occurs, charging the
batteries only after using
up
the existing charge
will correct it.
* The "memory effect" - the situation in which
the capacity
of
the battery is temporarily
lowered.
•
To
use up the batteries completely, put the
camera
in
the slide show mode (page 44) and
leave it that way until the batteries are used up.
• Do not mix new and used batteries.
• Do not expose the battery to water. The battery
is not water-resistant.
