Operating Temperature and Conditions

This camera is designed for use from -10 to 50 °C (14 to 122 °F).

Never leave your camera where it may

be subjected to extreme temperatures such as the glove compartment of a car.

• At colder temperatures, the data panel response time will be slow. The display

will temporarily darken at higher temperatures, but will restore when the temperature normalizes.

Never subject the camera to extreme humidity.

To prevent condensation from forming, place the camera in a sealed plastic bag when bringing it from the cold exterior into a warm building. Allow it to come to room temperature before removing it from the bag.

The low-battery symbol may appear even with fresh batteries depending on the storage conditions. To restore camera power, repeat turning the camera on and off.

When photographing in cold weather, keep the camera and spare batteries inside your coat to keep them warm when you are not shooting. Cold batteries will regain some of their charge when they warm up.
