Preparations
Notes
• Batteries must be charged before use. The battery is supplied
partially charged ex works, but it should be fully charged before
extended use.
• The battery must have a temperature between 0 °C and 35 °C
(32 °F and 95 °F) for charging, as the charger may otherwise
not switch on, or will automatically switch off.
• Lithium-ion batteries can be charged at any time, regardless of
their current charge level. A partially charged battery will charge
to full capacity faster than a fully discharged one.
• Lithium-ion batteries should only be stored partially charged, i.e.
not fully depleted or fully charged. For very long storage periods,
batteries should be charged for around 15 minutes twice a year
to prevent deep discharge.
• Batteries heat up during the charging process. That is normal
and not a malfunction.
• A new battery only reaches its full capacity after it has been fully
charged and – by using it in the camera – depleted 2 to 3 times.
This depletion process should be repeated roughly every 25
cycles.
• Rechargeable lithium-ion batteries generate power by way of
internal chemical reactions. These reactions are influenced by
ambient temperature and humidity. The service life of the bat-
tery will be maximized if exposure to extreme temperatures over
extended periods of time is avoided, e.g. in a parked car in
summer or winter.
• However, every battery has a limited service life! After several
hundred charging cycles, this limitation will become evident as
the operating times get significantly shorter.
• The replaceable battery supplies another back-up battery that is
built into the camera. This back-up battery ensures that the date
and time settings remain accurate for up to 2 days. Once the
back-up battery is depleted, it must be replenished by inserting
a charged main battery. The back-up battery will recover its full
capacity after approx. 60 hours with the rechargeable battery in
place. The camera will not have to be switched on for this pro-
cess. The date and time settings will, however, have to be cor-
rected.
• Remove the battery if the camera will not be used for an ex-
tended period of time. Make sure to switch the camera off via
the main switch before removing the battery. Leaving the battery
in the camera will result in a deep discharge after a few weeks.
The voltage will drop severely, as the camera still consumes a
small amount of idle current to save your settings while the
camera is switched off.
• The date and time need to be reset after a battery that was left
in the camera has been exhausted, this is usually after a max-
imum of 3 months.
