Batteries

• The camera uses our lithium-ion battery. Never use any battery other than our genuine batteries.
• The camera’s power consumption varies widely with usage and other conditions.

• As the following consume a lot of power even without shooting, the battery will be drained quickly.

  • Using the zoom repeatedly
  • Performing auto focus repeatedly by pressing the shutter button halfway in shooting mode
  • Displaying images on the monitor for a prolonged period
  • Connecting the camera to a computer
  • Leaving wireless LAN/Bluetooth^® enabled
  • Using GPS
• When using a drained battery, the camera may turn off without the low battery warning being displayed.
• Remove the batteries before putting the camera into storage for periods of a month or more. Leaving the batteries in the camera for extended periods shortens their lives, potentially rendering them unusable.
• The normal charging time using the optional USB-AC adapter is approximately 3 hours (estimated). Charging times may increase at high ambient temperatures.
• Do not use USB-AC adapters or chargers not specifically designated for use with batteries of the supplied type. Similarly, do not use the supplied USB-AC adapter with batteries (cameras) other than those of the designated type.
• There is a risk of explosion if the battery is replaced with the incorrect battery type.
• Dispose of the used battery following the instructions “CAUTION” in the instruction manual.
• To ensure stable operation, please keep the battery inserted even when using the USB-AC adapter.
