Preparing the Camera 17
• After charging the battery, remove it from the camera if the camera will not be used.
• If the main dial is set to any position other than while charging, the battery
pack will stop charging and the household electrical current will power the
camera.
• This is a lithium ion battery pack so there is no need to completely use or
discharge it before recharging. It can be charged at any charge state.
• It takes approximately 80 minutes to bring a fully discharged battery pack to a
charge state of approximately 90% (adequate charge for use). It takes
approximately 2 more hours to charge it fully (based on standard Canon testing
criteria). Charge it within a temperature range of 5 to 40º C (41 to 104º F).
• Charging times will vary according to the surrounding humidity and battery pack
charge state.
• Battery Pack BP-512 (optional) can also be used in this camera.
Battery Pack Handling Precautions
• Keep the battery pack and camera terminals (
) clean at all times. Dirty
terminals may cause a poor contact between the battery pack and camera. Polish the
terminals with a tissue or a dry cloth before charging or using the battery pack.
• Do not cover the compact power adapter with anything, such as a tablecloth, cushion
or blanket, when it is charging. Heat will build up internally and possibly lead to fire.
• Do not charge batteries other than Battery Pack BP-511 or Battery Pack BP-512 with
the supplied equipment. It could damage the camera.
• The battery pack continues to discharge a small amount when left in the camera even
with the power turned off. This shortens the battery life. Remove it from the camera,
attach the supplied terminal adapter and store it at room temperature (30ºC/86ºF
or less) in a dry place. Charge it before use.
• 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. 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 LB symbol displays and to store it at room temperature (30º C/86º F or
less). 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.
• 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
power off.
• Although the battery pack’s maximum operating range is 0 to 40º C (32 to 104º F), the
optimal range is 10 to 30º C (50 to 86º F). At cold temperatures, such as those
experienced on ski hills, performance will temporarily decline, reducing the usable time
before recharging.
• If the usable time of a battery pack diminishes substantially even when fully charged, it
should be replaced.
