• In general, battery performance temporarily deteriorates as the temperature
decreases. When using the camera in a cold environment, keep it warm by
putting it in your pocket or inside your coat. Battery performance that has
deteriorated due to low temperature will be restored when the battery is
returned to room temperature.
• Due to the characteristics of AA alkaline batteries, camera performance may
deteriorate. AA alkaline battery is not recommended except for emergencies.
• Due to the characteristics of AA alkaline and AA nickel manganese
batteries, camera performance may deteriorate at low temperatures. Use of
other batteries (such as CR-V3) is recommended when using the camera at
low temperatures.
• Be sure to take spare batteries with you when traveling abroad or to a cold
region, or if you intend to take a lot of pictures.
