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.
•Do not store the battery when it is fully charged.
•When storing the batter y for extended per iods, recharge it for five minutes ever y six months. The battery
may not be able to be charged if completely exhausted.
•A special built-in, long-life battery supplies power to the clock and memory when the camera is tur ned off.
If the camera resets each time it is turned off, the battery is exhausted. It must be replaced at a Minolta
service facility.
•Keep battery and camera charger contacts clean. Dir ty contacts can prevent charging. If the contacts
become dir ty, wipe them with a cotton swab.
