Using batteries correctly
• Incorrect usage of batteries causes such hazards
as leakage, heating or explosions. Polarity markings
should be carefully checked while inserting
batteries. If either battery is erroneously inserted,
unexpected mishap may occur.
• The battery discharges small amounts of energy
even when not in use. Therefore, the batteries
supplied with your camera may be slightly below
full capacity, as it has taken some time to reach
you.
• Replace both batteries at the same time. Do not
mix battery brands and types, or old batteries
with new batteries.
• Battery life is approximately six months for
alkaline and approximately one year for silver
or
lithium batteries.
• When not using the camera for tong periods of
time, you should remove batteries from the
camera. Old batteries are apt to leak and damage
the battery compartment. Always keep batteries
out of the reach of children.
• Never break, recharge, or throw used batteries
into fire as a precaution against explosions.
• Batteries should be kept warm in cold climates
to prevent lowering of performance.
• Keep spare batteries on hand for convenience
in photographing outdoors or while traveling, etc.
• When keeping the camera in a bag or case, lock
the shutter release button to avoid the unnecessary
consumption of battery power that may result
from accidentally releasing the shutter.
