• The battery life differs depending on the 
condition stored or used or environment.
When you do not use batteries for a long 
period of time
• When the batteries are left inserted in the 
camera, the batteries are discharged 
since a weak electric current is passed 
even if the camera is turned off. If you 
leave the batteries, they will excessively 
discharge and may become unusable 
even if they are recharged.
• When you store the batteries for a long 
period of time, we recommend charging 
the batteries once a year and removing 
them from the camera for storage after the 
batteries are completely discharged.
