TIPS ON BATTERY USE
•Keep batteries away from infants and small children, In case a battery is accidentally swallowed, call a doctor immediately as the material inside the batteries may be fatal.
•Battery power falls off in extremely cold temperatures and this may cause the camera to cease to operate. In this situation, use new batteries and protect the camera body from the cold. Note that battery power will be recovered as soon as the temperature becomes normal.
•When not using the camera for a long period of time, take the batteries out and store them in a cool (below 20°C), dry place. Should the batteries be left in the battery chamber for a long period of time, insufficient contact may occur due to battery contamination. Thus, it is good practice to periodically clean the batteries and the contact section in the battery chamber with a soft cloth. If the battery chamber is stained by a leaking battery, remove the batteries at once and clean the chamber.
•Never mix new and old batteries or batteries of different makes.
•Always check battery power before every shooting session. It is a good idea to have spare batteries on hand during a lengthy shooting assignment.
•Never disassemble batteries or dispose of them by burning.
ABOUT THE LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY (LCD)
To keep the LCD in top working order, note the following:
•At high temperatures (over approx. 60°C); the whole surface turns black so that the exposure information cannot be read. However, this situation will return to normal when the temperature drops.
•Avoid storing the camera in excessively hot places, such as in a car parked in direct sunlight or inside the trunk. You may shorten the LCD's life by doing so.
•When the temperature goes below freezing, the response time decreases as the liquid crystal becomes more viscose.
