Cold resistability of
battery
Although
both
th
e
si lver-oxide battery and
alka line-manganese
battery are
exce
ll
ent
in low
temperature
performance, there is
a
marked ten-
dency
for
battery
performance
to deteriorate
below O°C
(32°
F)
.
Therefore, it is recommended
that
a new
battery be
used
and the
camera itself
be
protected
from
low
temperatures when taking
pictures
below O°C
(32°
F)
.

to normal.
*
Wipe both battery terminals
with a soft and
dry
cloth or
paper before inserting it into
the camera.
*
The battery may
conduct
poorly due to the leakage
of
battery fluid,
etc.
when it is kept inside the battery
chamber
for
a long
time. When
such
leakage occurs,
clean
the battery
chamber and
replace the poor battery
with
a
new one.
*
When the
camera is
not in use
for a
long time, remove
the battery
and store
it
separately.
*
Do not disassemble,
short-circui
t
,
or burn batteries.
