Batteries
Technical
•When turning the camera on, check that the batteries are charged. The monitor will display a warning when batteries are low.
•On cold days, the capacity of batteries tends to decrease. Be sure that the batter- ies are fully charged before heading out- side to take pictures in cold weather. Keep spare batteries in a warm place and exchange as necessary. Once warmed, a cold battery may recover some of its charge.
•If the battery terminals are dirty, wipe them off with a clean, dry cloth before use.
•Repeatedly recharging NiMH batteries be- fore they are fully exhausted may result in a "memory" effect, causing the batteries to lose their charge quickly. The batteries will return to normal after being fully dis- charged and recharged.
•NiMH batteries gradually lose their charge when left unused. We recommend that you charge NiMH batteries immediately before use.
•Used batteries are a valuable resource. Please recycle used batteries in accor- dance with local regulations.
