Notes on Batteries

WARNING

Keep batteries out of reach of children.

If someone accidentally swallows a battery, call a doctor immediately.

Do not leave

•Use two lithium batteries

With Multi Power Battery Pack MB-40, eight 1.5V alkaline-manganese, lithium, Ni-MH, or one Rechargeable Li-ion Battery EN-EL4 can be used to power the F6.

•Change the batteries well before the end of their life and prepare spare batteries before important photographic occasions.

•Turn the camera power off when changing batteries

Turn the camera power off before changing batteries and insert the batteries with + and – ends positioned correctly.

•Stains on the battery poles may cause lack of contact. Wipe the batteries well with a dry cloth before installing.

•Use fresh batteries at low temperatures

Battery power diminishes at extremely low temperatures and the camera may not function properly with old batteries. Use a fresh set of batteries at low temperatures, and alternate them with spare batteries that you keep warm.

•At low temperatures, film advance speed decreases and the usable number of film rolls is reduced. However, battery power may recover when the temperature returns to normal.

•Do not throw batteries into a fire or short-circuit batteries

Do not throw batteries into a fire. Also, do not short-circuit, disassemble, heat or charge non-rechargeable batteries.
