z The performance of all batteries will decrease as the
temperature drops. For best performance in cold
environments, use Energizer Lithium AA batteries. NiMH
batteries may also provide acceptable low temperature
performance. To improve the performance of all battery
types, keep the camera and/or batteries stored in a warm
inside pocket when in a cold environment.
Extending Battery Life
Here are some tips for extending battery life:
z Turn off the Image Display and use the viewfinder instead
when framing pictures and video. Leave the Image Display
off whenever possible.
z Change the Live View at Power On setting in the Setup
Menu to Live View Off, so that your camera does not power
on in Live View (see Live View at Power On on page 81).
z Change the Display Brightness setting in the Setup Menu to
Low, so that the Image Display consumes less power when
in Live View (see Display Brightness on page 80).
z Minimize the use of flash by setting your camera to Auto
Flash, instead of Flash On (see Setting the Flash on
page 36).
z Use zoom only when necessary to minimize moving the lens
(see Using Zoom on page 34).
