TIPS ON BATTERY U S E - - - - - - - -
• Keep batteries away from infants and small children.
In case a battery is accidentally swallowed, call a
doctor immediately as the material inside the
batteries may be fatal.
• Battery power falls off in extremely cold temper-
atures and this may cause the camera to cease to
operate. In this situation, use new batteries and
protect the camera body from the cold. Note that
battery power wil l be recovered as soon as the
temperature becomes normal.
• When not using the camera for a long period of
time, take the batteries out and store them in a cool
(below 20°C), dry place. Should the batteries be
left in the battery chamber for a long period of time,
insufficient contact may occur due to battery con-
tamination . Thus, it is good practice to periodically
clean the batteries and the contact section in the
battery chamber with a soft cloth. If the battery
chamber is stained by a leaking battery, remove
the batteries at once and clean the chamber.
• Never mix new and old batteries or batteries of
different makes.
• Always check battery power before every shooting
session. It is a good idea to have spare batteries on
hand during a lengthy shooting assignment.
• In normal use, a battery's lifespan is about one
year. The battery packed with this camera, how-
ever, is for test purposes only so its lifespan may
be shorter than usual.
• Never disassemble batteries or dispose of them
by burning.
