Notes on Battery Usage
When you use AA batteries, carefully read and strictly observe the Safety Instructions and the notes described below:
Different battery types and surrounding temperatures may affect the battery performance.
Avoid using batteries in extremely cold environments as low temperatures can shorten the battery life and
reduce camera performance. This low temperature will also influence Alkaline battery performance, therefore
Ni-MH rechargeable battery is highly recommended.
If you are using the new rechargeable batteries or rechargeable batteries that have not been used for an
extended period of time (batteries that pass the expiry date are exceptions) might affect the number of pictures
that can be taken. Therefore, to maximize their performance and lifetime, we recommend that you fully charge
the batteries and discharge them for at least one complete cycle before use.
The battery may feel warm when using the camera for an extended period of time or using the flash continuously.
This is normal and not a malfunction.
The camera may feel warm when being used continuously or for an extended period of time. This is normal and
not a malfunction.
If you will not be using the batteries for an extended period of time, remove them from the camera to prevent
leakage or corrosion.
Never use batteries of different types (together) or mix old and new batteries.
Always keep the terminals in a clean state.
Never use manganese batteries.
