Batteries

•Battery performance decreases with temperature. In cold environments, we recommend keeping spare batteries in a warm place, such as the inside of a coat. Batteries can recover their power when they warm up.

•If batteries have been exhausted when used in the camera, do not reload them even if their charge seems to recover over time. These batteries will interfere with normal camera operation.

•A special built-in long-life battery supplies power to the clock and memory when the camera is off. If the camera resets each time it is turned off, the battery is exhausted. The battery must be replaced at a Minolta service facility.

Operating temperatures and conditions

•This camera has been designed for use in temperatures from 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F).

•Never leave the camera exposed to extreme high temperatures, such as in a car parked in the sun, or to extreme humidity.

•When taking the camera from a cold to a warm environment, place it in a sealed plastic bag to prevent condensation from forming. Allow the camera to come to room temperature before remov- ing it from the bag.
