Notes on Batteries
•Use two lithium batteries
With Multi Power Battery Pack MB-40, eight 1.5V alkaline-manganese, lithium,
Ni-MH, or one Rechargeable Li-ion Battery EN-EL4 can be used to power the F6.
• Change the batteries well before the end of their life and prepare spare batteries
before important photographic occasions.
•Turn the camera power off when changing batteries
Turn the camera power off before changing batteries and insert the batteries with +
and – ends positioned correctly.
• Stains on the battery poles may cause lack of contact. Wipe the batteries well
with a dry cloth before installing.
•Use fresh batteries at low temperatures
Battery power diminishes at extremely low temperatures and the camera may not
function properly with old batteries. Use a fresh set of batteries at low
temperatures, and alternate them with spare batteries that you keep warm.
• At low temperatures, film advance speed decreases and the usable number of film
rolls is reduced. However, battery power may recover when the temperature
returns to normal.
•Do not throw batteries into a fire or short-circuit batteries
Do not throw batteries into a fire. Also, do not short-circuit, disassemble, heat or
charge non-rechargeable batteries.
WARNING
Do not leave
Keep batteries out of reach of
children.
If someone accidentally swallows a
battery, call a doctor immediately.
