Extending battery life

■See Auto Power Off (see page 38).
■Limit the following activities that quickly deplete bat tery power:
– Reviewing your pictures on the LCD (see page 17)
– Using the LCD as a viewfinder (see page 7)
– Excessive use of the flash
■Dirt on the battery contacts can affect battery life. Wipe the contacts with a clean,
dry cloth before loading batteries in the camera.
■Battery performance is reduced at temperatures below 41° F (5° C). When using
your camera in cold weather, carry spare batteries and keep them warm. Do not
discard cold batteries that do not work; when they return to room temperature,
they may beusable.
