TIPS ON BATTERY USE

•
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 temperatures 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 will 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
contamination. 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.
•
Never disassemble batteries or dispose of them by burning.

ABOUT THE LIQUID CRYSTAL
DISPLAY (LCD)
To keep the LCD in top working order, note the following:
•
At high temperatures (over approx. 60°C); the whole surface
turns black so that the exposure information cannot be
read. However, this situation will return to normal when the
temperature drops.
•
Avoid storing the camera in excessively hot places, such as
in a car parked in direct sunlight or inside the trunk. You may
shorten the LCD's life by doing so.
•
When the temperature goes below freezing, the response
time decreases as the liquid crystal becomes more viscose.
