terminals
get wet or greasy, camera
contact failure
may result. Wipe the battery well with
a dry cloth before use.
• Always charge a battery when using it for the first
time, or if it has not been used for a tong period.
• When operating the camera with battery power at
low temperatures,
try to keep the camera and spare

A battery that has run
down at low temperatures
may be restored
after it is
warmed at room temperature.
• The number of pictures
you can take may vary
depending
on the shooting conditions
or battery.
• Before going on a long trip, and especially
before
traveling abroad, purchase
extra batteries. A

to the monitor.
• Astfip
of light may appear
on the top/bottom
of the
monitor, but this is not a malfunction.
• When a subject is viewed
diagonally
in the camera,
the edges may appear zigzagged
on the monitor.
