Battery Maintenance

Extreme temperatures may temporarily shorten battery life or cause your camera to temporarily stop working properly. Avoid dramatic temperature or humidity changes as condensation may form on or within the camera. Do not dry your camera with an external heat source such as a microwave oven or a hair dryer. Damage to the camera or battery caused by contact with liquid inside the camera is not covered under the warranty. Do not store your battery with metal objects like coins, keys, or necklaces. If the battery terminals come in contact with metal objects, this may cause a fire.

Note: Batteries have reduced capacity in cold weather. This affects older batteries even more. If you regularly shoot at low temperatures, replace batteries yearly for optimal performance.

Do not insert foreign objects into any opening on the camera, such as the USB-C port. Do not use your camera if it’s been damaged-for example, if cracked, punctured, or harmed by water.
Disassembling or puncturing the integrated battery can cause an explosion or fire.

Battery Disposal

Most rechargeable lithium-ion batteries are classified as non-hazardous waste and are safe for disposal in the normal municipal waste stream. To safely dispose of lithium-ion batteries, protect terminals from exposure to other metal with packing, masking, or electrical tape so they do not cause a fire while being transported.
