■ Battery Life
• Battery continuous operation times provided in this manual
represent the approximate amount of time before the camera
turns off due to low battery power when being powered by the
special battery under normal temperature (23°C (73°F)). They
do not guarantee that you will be able to achieve the indicated
level of operation. Actual battery life is greatly affected by
ambient temperature, battery storage conditions, the amount
of time spent in storage, etc.
• Leaving the camera on can run down battery and cause the
low battery warning to appear. Turn off the camera whenever
you are not using it.
• The low battery warning indicates that the camera is about to
turn off due to low battery power. Charge the battery as soon
as possible. Leaving low or dead batteries in the camera can
lead to battery leakage and data corruption.
