On the “InfoLITHIUM” battery pack
This camera requires an “InfoLITHIUM”
battery pack (E type).
What is an “InfoLITHIUM” battery
pack?
An “InfoLITHIUM” battery pack is a
lithium-ion battery pack that has functions
for exchanging information related to
operating conditions with your camera. The
“InfoLITHIUM” battery pack calculates the
power consumption according to the
operating conditions of your camera, and
displays the remaining battery time in
minutes.
On charging the battery pack
We recommend charging the battery pack in an
ambient temperature of between 10°C to 30°C
(50°F to 86°F). You may not be able to efficiently
charge the battery pack outside of this temperature
range.
Effective use of the battery pack
• Battery performance decreases in low
temperature surroundings. So, the time that the
battery pack can be used is shorter in cold
places. We recommend the following to ensure
longer battery pack use:
– Put the battery pack in a pocket close to your
body to warm it up, and insert it in your
camera immediately before you start
shooting.
• The battery will run out quickly if you use the
flash or zoom frequently.
• We recommend having spare battery packs
handy for two or three times the expected
shooting time, and making trial shots before
taking the actual shots.
• Do not expose the battery pack to water. The
battery pack is not water-resistant.
• Do not leave the battery pack in extremely hot
places, such as in a car or under direct sunlight.
On the remaining battery time
indicator
The power may go off although the battery
remaining indicator shows there is enough power
to operate. Use the battery pack up and charge the
battery pack fully again so that the indication on
the battery remaining indicator is correct. Note,
however, that the correct battery indication
sometimes will not be restored if the camera is
used in high temperatures for a long time or left in
a fully charged state, or if the battery pack is used
frequently.
How to store the battery pack
• If the battery pack is not to be used for a long
time, fully charge it once a year and then fully
use it up on your electronic device before
storing in a dry, cool place. Repeat this charging
and using up once a year to maintain the battery
pack’s function.
• To use the battery pack up on your camera, leave
the
power button switched to On in slide
show playback mode (page 39) until the power
goes off.
• To prevent staining the terminal, short-
circuiting, etc., be sure to use a supplied battery
case when carrying and storing.
On battery life
• The battery life is limited. Battery capacity
decreases little by little as you use it more and
more, and as time passes. If the battery
operating time seems shortened considerably, a
probable cause is that the battery pack has
reached the end of its life. Buy a new battery
pack.
• The battery life varies according to how it is
stored and the operating conditions and
environment in which each battery pack is used.
