Notes On Batteries - Nikon F60 Instruction Manual

Camera Care
—continued
• Remove the batteries and store the camera with a desiccant
If you do not intend to use the camera for a long time, remove the batteries to
protect the camera from battery leakage.
• In a humid environment, store the camera inside a plastic bag with a desiccant
to keep out dust, moisture and salt. Note, however, that storing leather cases in
vinyl bags may cause the leather to deteriorate. Keep the batteries in a cool, dry
place away from heat or humidity.
• Change the desiccant occasionally since it does not absorb moisture effectively
after using it for a while.
• Leaving the camera unused for a long period of time may cause mold to grow
and result in malfunction. Turn the power on and release the shutter a few times
once per month.
• To maintain the built-in Speedlight in peak condition, fire it a few times every
month. This will enable you to use the flash for many years.
Nikon cannot be held responsible for any malfunction resulting from the use of
the camera other than as specified in this manual.

before important photographic occasions.
• Turn the camera power off when changing batteries
Turn the camera power off before changing batteries and insert the batteries with
+ and - ends positioned correctly.

Battery power diminishes at extremely low temperatures and the camera may not
function properly with old batteries. Use a fresh set of batteries at low
temperatures, keep spare batteries warm, and use them alternately.
• Film advance speed lowers and number of usable film roll becomes less at low
temperatures. However, battery power may recover when the temperature
returns to normal.

Do not throw batteries into a fire. Do not short, disassemble, heat or charge
batteries.
