Tips on Using Included Accessories
Effective Battery and Charger Use
• Chargethebatteryon(orimmediatelybefore)the
dayofuse
Chargedbatteriesgraduallylosetheircharge,evenwhen
theyarenotused.
Youcaneasilycheckthechargestateofthebatteryby
attachingthecoversothatisvisibleonacharged
battery,andattachingitsothatisnotvisibleonan
unchargedbattery.
• Long-termbatterystorage
Afterusingupallremainingbatterypower,removethebatteryfromthecamera.Store
thebatterywiththecoverattached.Storingapartiallychargedbatteryoverextended
periods(aboutayear)mayshortenitslifeoraffectperformance.
• Usingthebatterychargerabroad
Thechargercanbeusedinareaswith100–240VACpower(50/60Hz).Forpower
outletsinadifferentformat,useacommerciallyavailableadapterfortheplug.Never
useanelectricaltransformerdesignedfortraveling,whichmaydamagethebattery.
