CONCERNING THE BATTERIES
About recharging batteries
œ Recharge batteries in the following cases
Newly purchased batteries
Batteries which have not been used for a long time
œ Always recharge two batteries at the same time.
œ During recharging, the battery charger and batteries will be warm. This is
normal and does not indicate a malfunction.
œ It is recommended that the ambient temperature during recharging be
between about 10°C and 40°C. Due to the characteristics of the batteries,
at temperatures below 10°C, it may not be possible to sufficiently recharge
them.
œ If, even with the batteries properly installed, the recharge indicator
continues to flash or the batteries feel hot after a very short period of use,
the batteries may have reached the end of their useful life. If the same
symptoms appear even with new batteries, or if the battery recharge
indicator does not go out even after about 290 minutes of recharging, there
may be another problem. Discontinue recharging the batteries immediately
and consult your dealer.
ABOUT THE BATTERIES
œ You can also use AA Ni-Cd batteries, but they will not last as long as the
AA nickel metal hydride rechargeable batteries. If you do not have access
to these batteries, you may use alkaline batteries; however the duration of
operation provided by alkaline batteries will be very short.
œ A small amount of battery power is still used even when the digital camera
is turned off. It is recommended that you remove the batteries from the
digital camera when it is not being used. However, when the batteries are
removed for a long period, the date and time settings may be cleared.
When reinstalling recharged batteries, recheck the date and time settings
(see page 164).
