Be careful that you don't put the batteries into a pocket together with a metal key
chain or other metallic objects, as these objects may cause batteries to short-

the camera and store them in a safe place.
Batteries may leak and damage the camera if left installed during prolonged periods of
non-use.
Warning
Never use damaged batteries or batteries whose outer seal is completely or
partially missing or peeled off, as there is risk that such batteries may leak,
