To maximize battery life, close Wifi ?.

Extreme cold temperatures can decrease battery life. To maximize battery life in cold conditions, keep the camera in a warm place prior to use.

Shooting at higher frame rates and resolutions increases power consumption.

Removing the Battery from the Camera

1. Open the battery door by placing your thumb in the indentation in the battery door (on the bottom of the camera) and sliding it to the left.
2. Remove the battery ? from the camera.

Battery Storage and Handling

The camera contains sensitive components, including the battery ?. Avoid exposing your camera and battery to very cold or very hot temperatures. Low or high temperature conditions may temporarily shorten the battery life or cause the camera to temporarily stop working properly. Avoid dramatic changes in temperature or humidity when using the camera, as condensation may form on or within the camera.

Do not turn on your camera if it is wet. If your camera is already on, turn it off and remove the battery ? immediately. Allow the camera to dry thoroughly before using it again. Do not dry the camera or battery with an external heat source such as a microwave oven or hair dryer. Damage to the camera or battery caused by contact with liquid is not covered under the warranty.

Do not store your battery ? with metal objects, such as coins, keys, or necklaces. If the battery terminals come in contact with metal objects, this may cause a fire.

Battery Disposal

Many localities have laws in place requiring battery recycling. Check your local laws to make sure that you can dispose of rechargeable batteries in your regular trash. 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.

Lithium-ion batteries, however, do contain recyclable materials and are accepted for recycling by the Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation's (RBRC) Battery Recycling Program.

Never dispose of a battery ? in a fire because it may explode.

⚠️ CAUTION: Do not drop, disassemble, open, crush, bend, deform, puncture, shred, microwave, incinerate, or paint the camera. Do not insert foreign objects into the battery opening on the camera. Do not use the camera or the battery ? if it has been damaged—for example, if cracked, punctured, or harmed by water. Disassembling or puncturing the battery ? can cause an explosion or fire.
