Battery
Do not install the batteries with their terminals ( and )
reversed.
Do not mix batteries of different types or from different
manufacturers.
Before installing the batteries, wipe the battery terminals well
with a dry cloth.
If the battery terminals are soiled with oil from one's skin or other
dirt, the number of recordable images may be considerably
diminished, or the amount of time the camera can be used may be
reduced.
At low temperatures, battery performance may be reduced and
the low battery icon ( ) may appear earlier than usual.
Under these conditions, restore the battery performance by
warming it in a pocket immediately before use.
Do not put the batteries into a pocket together with metallic
items such as a key ring.
The batteries may be short circuited.
When not using the camera for long periods, remove the
batteries from the camera and store them separately.
If the batteries are left inside the camera, the camera may become
damaged from battery leakage.
