Preparations
First Aid:
• Battery fluid coming into contact with the eyes may cause
blindness. Immediately rinse the eyes thoroughly with clean
water. Do not rub the eyes. Seek medical attention immediately.
• If leaked fluid gets onto the skin or clothing, there is a risk of
injury. Rinse the affected areas with clean water.
Notes:
• The battery is supplied partially charged, but it should be
charged before long periods of use.
• In order to charge the battery, it must have a temperature of
between 0°C and 35°C/32°F and 95°F (otherwise the charger
may not turn on or off again).
• Lithium-ion batteries can be charged at any time, regardless of
their current charge level. If a battery is only partly discharged
when charging starts, it is charged to full capacity faster.
• Lithium ion batteries should only be stored partly charged, i.e.
not when fully discharged or fully charged. For very long storage
periods, batteries should be charged for around 15 minutes
twice a year to prevent total discharge.
• The batteries warm up during the charging process. This is
normal and not a malfunction.
• A new battery only reaches its full capacity after it has been fully
charged and – by use in the camera – discharged 2 or 3 times.
This discharge procedure should be repeated roughly every 25
cycles.
• Rechargeable lithium-ion batteries generate power through
internal chemical reactions. This reaction is influenced by ambi-
ent temperature and humidity. To maximize the life of the bat-
tery, it should not be exposed to extremely high or low tempera-
tures for long periods (e.g. in a parked car in summer or winter).
• Even with optimum conditions of use, every battery has a limited
service life. After several hundred charging cycles, this becomes
noticeable as the operating times get significantly shorter.
• In line with the applicable regulations (see p. 113), defective
batteries should be disposed of at an appropriate collection
point for proper recycling.
• The replaceable battery supplies another back-up battery that is
built into the camera. This back-up battery ensures that the date
and time data entered is retained for up to 2 days. If this back-
up battery runs out it must be recharged by inserting a charged
main battery. Once the replaceable battery has been inserted,
the full capacity of the back-up battery is recovered after about
60 hours. This process does not require the camera to be turned
on. However, the date and time will have to be set again.
• Remove the battery if you will not be using the camera for a long
period of time. Turn the camera off using the main switch before
removing the battery. Otherwise, after several weeks the battery
could become totally discharged, i.e. the voltage is sharply
reduced as the camera still consumes a small amount of current
(for saving your settings) even when it is turned off.
