BATTERIES
• Battery performance decreases with temperature. In cold environments, we
recommend keeping spare batteries in a warm place, such as the inside of a coat.
Batteries can recover their power when they warm up. As the performance of Ni-MH
batteries are less effected by temperature, their use is recommended when shooting
in cold environments.
• Remove the batteries when the camera is not in use for an extended period. Leaking
battery fluid may damage the battery-chamber.
• Occasionally, when using alkaline batteries, the battery-condition indicator will give a
false low-battery-power warning, even though there is enough power capacity.
Continue to use the camera; the low-battery indicator will disappear.
• Because batteries heat up with the use of the camera, be careful when removing or
replacing them. Turn off the the camera and allow the batteries to cool before
handling them.
