Maximizing Camera Life and Performance

Caring for the Camera

C The Battery

• Check the battery level before using the camera and replace or charge the battery if necessary. Do

not continue charging once the battery is fully charged as this will result in reduced battery

performance. Whenever possible, carry a fully charged spare battery when taking pictures on

important occasions.

• Do not use the battery at ambient temperatures below 0 °C (32 °F) or above 40 °C (104 °F). Failure

to observe this precaution could damage the battery or impair its performance.

• Charge the battery indoors with an ambient temperature of 5 °C to 35 °C (41 °F to 95 °F) before

use. When the battery temperature is between 0 and 10 °C (32 to 50 °F) or 45 to 60 °C (113 to

140 °F), the chargeable capacity may decrease. The battery will not charge if its temperature is

below 0 °C (32 °F) or above 60 °C (140 °F).

• Note that the battery may become hot during use; wait for the battery to cool before charging.

Failure to observe these precautions could damage the battery, impair its performance, or prevent

it from charging normally.

• On cold days, the capacity of batteries tends to decrease. Be sure that the battery is fully charged

before heading outside to take pictures in cold weather. Keep spare batteries in a warm place and

exchange as necessary. Once warmed, a cold battery may recover some of its charge.

• Dirt on the battery terminals can prevent the camera from functioning. Should the battery

terminals become dirty, wipe them off with a clean, dry cloth before use.

• If the battery will not be used for some time, insert it in the camera and run it flat before removing

it for storage. The battery should be stored in a cool location with an ambient temperature of 15 to

25 °C (59 to 77 °F). Do not store the battery in hot or extremely cold locations.

• Always remove the battery from the camera or optional battery charger when it is not being used.

When inserted, minute amounts of current are drawn from the battery even when not in use. This

may result in excessive draining of the battery and complete loss of function. Turning the camera

on or off while the battery is exhausted can result in reduced battery life.

• Recharge the battery at least once every six months and completely exhaust it before returning it

to storage.

• After removing the battery from the camera or battery charger, replace the supplied terminal

cover and store in a cool place.

• A marked drop in the time a fully-charged battery retains its charge, when used at room

temperature, indicates that the battery needs to be replaced. Purchase a new EN-EL12 battery.

• Replace the battery when it no longer holds a charge. Used batteries are a valuable resource.

Please recycle used batteries in accordance with local regulations.
