Charging the Battery Pack (continued)
20
When using Battery Pack BP-511A or BP-514, you can distinguish
between the discharged battery pack and fully charged battery
pack by changing the direction of the battery cover (Fig. C and D).
Recharge the battery fully before using it again.
z Even charged battery packs continue to discharge naturally. You
are advised to charge the battery on the day of use, or one day
before, to ensure a full charge.
z Since storing a fully charged battery pack for long periods of time
(about 1 year) can shorten its lifecycle or affect performance, you
are recommended to use the battery pack in the camera until the
symbol displays and to store it at normal temperature (30 °C/
86 °F) or lower. If you do not use the battery pack for long periods
of time, charge it fully and discharge it fully in the camera at least
once a year before returning it to storage.
z The camera consumes the battery charge when the power is on
even when a function is not being used. To conserve the battery
charge, be particularly attentive in turning the camera off.
z Although the battery pack’s maximum operating range is 0 to
40 °C (32 to 104 °F), the optimal range is 10 to 30 °C (50 to
86 °F). At cold temperatures, such as those experienced when
skiing, performance will temporarily decline, reducing the usable
time before recharging.
z If the usable time of a battery pack diminishes substantially even
when fully charged, it should be replaced.
