Regarding Battery Handling
• Performance falls when the camera is used in low temperatures and it may become easy
for the [Battery low] message to be displayed on the display panel and the LCD monitor. It
is therefore advisable to keep new batteries ready so that the batteries can soon be
changed when using the camera in low temperatures. Lowering of the performance during
use can be prevented by warming up the replacement batteries. AA -size lithium batteries
are recommended for use in cold regions.
• Please store the camera with the batteries removed if the camera is not to be used for a
long period of time. If the camera is stored with the batteries in, the batteries may leak and
cause damage to the battery chamber of the camera.
• When alkaline batteries are used, there may be cases where the remaining battery charge
is displayed as being low even when new batteries are installed, due to the properties,
temperature and storing method of such batteries. In such cases, the remaining battery
charge will be restored after using for a short period of time, and the remaining battery
power will be displayed in a normal manner.
