Charging the Battery
~~~ Tips for Using the Battery and Charger
• Recharge the battery on the day before or on the day it is to be used.
Even during non-use or storage, a charged battery will gradually
discharge and lose its power .
.. After recharging the battery, detach it and unplug the power
cord or prongs from the power outlet.
~ You can attach the cover in a different
orientation to indicate whether the battery
has been recharged or not.
If the battery has been recharged, attach the
cover so that the battery-shaped hole < 0 > is
aligned
over the blue sticker on the battery. If the battery is
exhausted, attach the
cover in the opposite orientation.
• When not using the camera, remove the battery.
If the battery is left in the camera for a prolonged period, a small amount
of power current is released, resulting in excess discharge and shorter
battery life. Store the battery with the protective cover attached. Storing
the battery after it is fully charged can lower the battery's performance.
• The battery charger can also be used in foreign countries.
The battery charger is compatible with a 100 V AC to 240 V AC 50/60 Hz
power source. If necessary, attach a commercially-available plug adapter for
the respective country or region. Do not attach any portable voltage
transformer
to the battery charger. Doing so can damage the battery charger.
~ If the battery becomes exhausted quickly even after being fully
charged, the battery has worn out.
Check the battery's recharge performance (p.230) and purchase a
new battery.
U ft If the battery's remaining capacity (p.230) is 94% or higher, the battery
will not be recharged.
* After disconnecting the charger's power plug, do not touch the charger
power plug (prongs) for at least 3 sec.
