• We recommend charging the battery pack in an ambient temperature of between 10°C to 30°C (50°F to 

86°F). The battery pack may not be fully charged in temperatures outside this range.

• Battery performance decreases in low temperature surroundings. So in cold places, the operational time 

of the battery pack is shorter. 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 the camera 

immediately before you start shooting.

• The battery pack 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.

• Fully discharge the battery pack before storing and store it in a cool, dry place. To maintain the battery 

pack’s function, fully charge the battery pack and then fully discharge it on the camera at least once a 
year while storing.

• To use the battery pack up, leave the camera in slideshow (page 41) playback mode 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.

• The battery life is limited. Battery capacity decreases over time and through repeated use. If decreased 

usage time between charges becomes significant, it is probably time to replace it with a new one.

• The battery life varies according to how it is stored and the operating conditions and environment in 

which each battery pack is used.

• The NP-BD1 (supplied) can be used only in D type compatible Cyber-shot models. It cannot be used in 

Cyber-shot models compatible with the T type and other battery types.

• If you use the NP-FD1 battery pack (sold separately), the minutes also appear after the battery remaining 

indicator (

 60 Min).
