CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK
Recharging the battery pack

before using it in your camera. For charging the battery pack, use the
supplied charger.

recharge it whenever the remaining charge is low (see "CHECKING THE
REMAINING BATTERY PACK CHARGE" on page 149).

between about 0 °C and 40 °C (32°F and 104°F). Due to the
characteristics of the battery pack, at temperatures below 0 °C (32°F), it
may not be possible to sufficiently recharge it.

it.
