Effective use of the battery pack
� Battery performance decreases in lowtemperature surroundings. So, the time that the battery pack can be used is shorter in cold places. We recommend the following to ensure longer battery pack use: � Put the battery pack in a pocket close to your body to warm it up, and insert it in your camera immediately before you start shooting. � Frequently operating the zoom or flash wears out the battery charge faster. � We recommend having spare battery packs handy for two or three times the expected shooting time, and making trial shots before taking the actual shots. � Do not expose the battery pack to water. The battery pack is not water-resistant.

How to store the battery pack
� If the battery pack is not to be used for a long time, do the following procedure once per year to maintain proper function. 1 Fully charge the battery. 2 Discharge on your camera. 3 Remove the battery from your camera and store it in a dry, cool place.

Battery life
� The battery life is limited. Battery capacity decreases little by little as you use it more and more, and as time passes. When the battery operating time is shortened considerably, a probable cause is that the battery pack has reached the end of its life. Buy a new battery pack. � The battery life varies according to how it is stored and the operating conditions and environment for each battery pack.

Remaining battery time indicator
The power may go off although the battery remaining indicator shows there is enough power to operate. Use the battery pack up and charge the battery pack fully again so that the indication on the battery remaining indicator is correct. Note, however, that the correct battery indication sometimes will not be restored if the camera is used in high temperatures for a long time or left in a fully charged state, or the battery pack is frequently used.
