Panasonic DMC-LS60 User Guide

VQT1C63

• We recommend charging the batteries 

after they are fully discharged. If you 
charge the batteries before they are 
fully discharged, it can reduce battery 
performance. This is called “memory 
effect”.

• If “memory effect” occurs, continue using 

the batteries until the camera stops 
working and then charge them fully.
Battery performance will be restored after 
a few charges and discharges.

• Over time Ni-MH batteries naturally 

discharge and their capacity lowers even 
when they are not used.

• Once the batteries have reached full 

charge, do not continue to charge them.

• Do not peel off or scratch the covering on 

Ni-MH batteries.

• Read the operating instructions for the 

battery charger.

Ni-MH batteries have a limited life. Battery 
capacity gradually decreases over time. If 
the length of time you can use the camera 
is extremely short even after fully charging 
the batteries, they may have exceeded 
their life span. Purchase new batteries.
• Battery life differs depending on the 

conditions of storage and usage and the 
environment.

When not using the batteries for a long 
period of time
• If the batteries are left in the camera 

they will discharge. This is because a 
small electrical current continues to fl ow 
even when the camera is turned off. If 
the batteries continue to be left in the 
camera, they will discharge excessively 
and may become unusable even if 
charged.

• When storing the batteries for a long 

period of time, we recommend charging 
them once a year. Remove the batteries 
from the camera and store them again 
after they have completely discharged.
