When using the camera in cold climates, have extra batteries on hand and
keep them warm in your pocket. Battery performance will return to normal
when returned to room temperature.

recommend their use except in emergencies and checking the camera's
functionality.
• Have extra batteries ready when traveling overseas, taking pictures in cold
climates, or when you will be taking a lot of pictures.
