NOTES ON HANDLING
Batteries
• Battery performance decreases with lower operating temperatures. In a cold place, we recommend you
prepare new batteries and keep the spare batteries in a warm place such as inside your coat.
As the performance of Ni-MH battery decreases, we recommend you use the Ni-MH battery in a cold place.
Even if the battery performance decreases due to a cold environment, the battery can recover its power
when the battery warms up.
• Remove the batteries when they are not in use for an extended period. Battery leakage may damage the
battery-chamber.
• Occasionally, when using alkaline batteries, the battery-condition indicator shows that the battery power is
low even if there is enough power capacity.
Continue to use the camera. The low-battery symbol will disappear.
• As the batteries heat up just after the camera is used, be careful when removing or replacing the batteries.
Turn off the camera and allow the batteries to cool down.
