Notes on Battery Care

Preve nting unnecessary di sc harge

To prevent unnecessary discharge, set th e film- advance lever and the shutter-release button lock in the off position, except when taking pictures.

Cold resistability of battery

Although both th e si lver-oxide battery and alka line-manganese battery are exce ll ent in low temperature performance, there is a marked ten- dency for battery performance to deteriorate below O°C (32° F) . Therefore, it is recommended that a new battery be used and the camera itself be protected from low temperatures when taking pictures below O°C (32° F) .

A battery which temporari ly deteriorates due to low temperature ca n cont inue to be used, as its capacity recovers wh en the temperature rises back to normal.

*Wipe both battery terminals with a soft and dry cloth or paper before inserting it into the camera.

*The battery may conduct poorly due to the leakage of battery fluid, etc. when it is kept inside the battery chamber for a long time. When such leakage occurs, clean the battery chamber and replace the poor battery with a new one.

*When the camera is not in use for a long time, remove the battery and store it separately.

*Do not disassemble, short-circui t, or burn batteries.
