mTo lengthen battery life, limit the following activities:
–Using Liveview (using the camera screen as the viewfinder, see
page 15)
–Reviewing your pictures on the camera screen (see page 37)
–Excessive use of the flash
mDirt on the battery contacts can affect battery life. Wipe the contacts with a
clean, dry cloth before loading batteries in the camera.
mBattery life depends significantly on battery age, usage conditions, and type.
Digital cameras are demanding on batteries. Not all batteries perform well
under these challenging conditions.
mBattery performance is reduced at temperatures below 41° F (5° C).
Carry spare batteries when using your camera in cold weather, and keep
them warm. Do not discard cold batteries that do not work; when they
return to room temperature, they may be usable.
mDo not allow batteries to touch metal objects, including coins. Otherwise, a
battery may short circuit, discharge energy, become hot, or leak.
