ABOUT NI-MH BATTERIES

Pictures are taken indoors or in low-light situations with- out flash.

Slow shutter speeds result in blurred images when the camera is hand- held.

Use a tripod, change the cam- era sensitivity to a higher set- ting (p. 62), or use the flash (p. 30).

When using Ni-MH batteries, clean both battery terminals with dry cloth to wipe off any dirt or residue. Because of the sophisticated computer system, the camera critically monitors power levels. If the battery terminals are dirty, the camera may give a false low- battery warning. If battery performance is unusually low, wipe the battery terminals with a clean, dry cloth.

Ni-MH battery performance will decrease if the batteries are often recharged before they have been fully discharged. Completely exhaust the Ni-MH batteries using the camera before charging.
