The nickel-metal hydride batteries

Effective use of the battery

Battery performance decreases in low- temperature surroundings, and the battery life is shortened under such circumstances. To use the battery longer, we recommend you keep the battery stored in the supplied battery case, in a pocket close to your body to warm it, and insert it in your camera just before you start shooting.

If you shoot a lot using the zoom and flash, the battery power will be used up faster.

We recommend having spare batteries handy for two or three times the expected shooting time, and try test shooting before the actually using the camera.

Do not expose the battery to water. The battery is not water-resistant.
