About the Battery and Charger
•
•
•
•
To keep the battery in optimum condition, avoid storing it in a fully
charged state or in high temperatures.
If the battery is left inserted and the camera is not used for a long time,
the battery will over-discharge and shorten the battery’s life.
Charging the battery a day before use or on the day of use is
recommended.
6
- DO NOT INCINERATE.
- DO NOT DISASSEMBLE.
- DO NOT SHORT CIRCUIT.
The AC plug cord provided with this camera is developed exclusively for
