Effective use of Nickel-Metal Hydride 
batteries
• Batteries are discharged even when they are not 
used. We recommend you charge the batteries 
just before using them.
• Battery performance decreases in low-
temperature surroundings, and the battery life is 
shortened under such circumstances. To use the 
battery longer, we recommend you keep the 
battery in its case in a pocket close to your body 
to warm it, and insert it in your camera just 
before you start shooting. 
• If the poles of the batteries and the terminals on 
the battery cover of the camera are dirty, the 
battery life may be extremely shortened. 
Occasionally wipe them with a dry cloth, etc. to 
keep them clean.
• If you shoot a lot using the flash and the zoom, 
the battery power will be used up faster.
• We recommend having spare batteries handy for 
two or three times the expected shooting time, 
and try test shooting before actually using the 
camera. 
Battery life of Nickel-Metal Hydride 
batteries
• The battery life is limited. The battery capacity 
decreases little by little as you use it more and 
more, and as time passes. When the battery 
operating time seems to have been considerably 
shortened, a probable cause is that the batteries 
have reached the end of their life. 
• The battery life varies depending on storage, 
operating conditions, and environment, and is 
different for each battery.
