different battery pack, and check whether the battery charger operates correctly. If the
battery charger operates correctly, the first battery pack may be malfunctioning.
If the battery pack is dirty, the battery pack may not charge correctly. Wipe off the dirt with
a dry cloth.
Notes on using the battery pack
Use the battery pack NP-FM500H. You cannot use NP-FM55H, NP-FM50, or NP-FM30
with this camera.
The remaining battery indicator may not provide an accurate reading depending on the
battery usage or environment.
The battery pack is not waterproof. Be careful not to get the battery pack wet.
Do not leave the battery pack in locations with high temperatures, such as in a car or
under a blazing sun.
Using the battery pack efficiently
When the ambient temperature is low, the battery performance is degraded and the
operating length of the battery decreases. In addition, the speed of continuous shooting
decreases. We recommend that you warm the battery pack, for example in your pocket,
and insert it into the camera right before you start shooting.
If you use the flash often, shoot images continuously, turn the camera on and off
frequently, or use a brighter setting for the screen, the battery life will decrease.
Battery life
The battery life is limited. If you use the same battery pack repeatedly, or use the same
battery pack for a long period, the battery capacity decreases gradually. If the available
time of the battery pack shortens significantly, it is probably time to replace the battery
pack with a new one.
The battery life varies between different battery packs, and according to how the battery
pack is stored and the operating conditions and environment in which it is used.
Storing the battery pack
To maintain the battery pack’s function, charge the battery pack and then fully discharge it
in the camera at least once a year before storing it. Then remove the battery pack and
store in a cool, dry place.
