BATTERIES
Battery performance decreases with temperature. In cold environments, we recommend keeping spare
batteries in a warm place, such as the inside of a coat. Batteries can recover their power when they warm
up. As the performance of Ni-MH batteries are less affected by temperature, their use is recommended
when shooting in cold environments.
Remove the batteries when the camera is not in use for an extended period. Leaking battery fluid may
damage the battery-chamber.
Occasionally, when using alkaline batteries, the battery-condition indicator will give a false low-battery-
power warning, even though there is enough power capacity. Continue to use the camera; the low-battery
indicator will disappear.
If batteries have been exhausted when used in the camera, do not reload them even if their charge
seems to recover over time. These batteries will interfere with normal camera operation.
