NOTES ON THE HANDLING
Batteries• Battery performance decreases with lower operating temperatures. In a cold place, we
recommend you to prepare new batteries and keep the spare batteries in a warm place
such as inside your coat.
As the performance of Ni-MH battery less decreases, we recommend you to use the Ni-
MH battery in a cold place.Even if the battery performance decreases due to a cold
environment, the battery can recover its power when the battery warms up.
• Remove the batteries when they are not in use for an extended period.The battery
leakage may damage the battery-chamber.
• Occasionally, when using alkaline batteries, the battery-condition indicator shows that
the battery power is low even if there is enough power capacity.Continue to use the
camera.The low-battery symbol will disappear.
• As the batteries heat up just after the camera is used, be careful when removing or
replacing the batteries.Turn off the power of the camera and allow the batteries to cool
down.
