Battery pack

Compatible battery pack

The NP-BN (supplied) or NP-BN1 (sold separately) can be used with the camera.

On charging the battery pack

Charge the battery pack (supplied) before using the camera for the first time.

You can charge the battery pack even if it is not completely discharged. In addition, even if the battery

pack is not fully charged, you can use the partially charged capacity of the battery pack as is.

We recommend charging the battery pack in an ambient temperature of between 10°C to 30°C (50°F

to 86°F). The battery pack may not be effectively charged in temperatures outside this range.

Effective use of the battery pack

Battery performance decreases in low temperature surroundings. So in cold places, the operational

time of the battery pack is shorter. We recommend to ensure longer battery pack use: Put the battery

pack in a pocket close to your body to warm it up, and insert it in the camera immediately before you

start shooting. (If there are any metal objects such as keys in your pocket, be aware of short-circuits.)

The battery pack will run out quickly if you use the zoom frequently.

We recommend having spare battery packs handy for two times or three times the expected shooting

time, and making trial shots before taking the actual shots.

Do not expose the battery pack to water. The battery pack is not water-resistant.

Do not leave the battery pack in extremely hot places, such as in a car or under direct sunlight.

You may not be able to turn on the camera or the battery pack may not be effectively charged if the

terminal section of the battery is dirty. In this case, wipe any dust off lightly using a soft cloth or a

cotton swab to clean the battery.

How to store the battery pack

Fully discharge the battery pack before storing and store the camera in a cool, dry place. To maintain

the battery pack’s function, charge the battery pack and then fully discharge it in the camera at least

once a year while storing.

To prevent staining the terminal, short-circuiting, etc., be sure to use a plastic bag, etc. to keep away

from metal materials when carrying or storing.

On battery life

The battery life is limited. Battery capacity decreases over time and through repeated use. If the
