TIPS ON BATTERY USE
•Keep batteries away from infants and small children . In case a battery is accidentally swallowed, call a doctor immediately as the material inside the batteries can cause serious problems.
•Battery power falls off in extremely cold temperatures and this may cause the camera 'sphotometeric circuit to mal- function . In this situation, use new batteries and protect the camera body from the cold. Note that battery power will be recovered as soon as the temperature becomes normal.
•Should the battery be left in the battery chamber for a long period, insufficient contact may occur due to battery leakage. Thus, it is good practice to periodically clean the battery and the contact section in the battery chamber with a soft cloth . If the battery chamber is stained with a leaking battery, remove the battery at once and clean the chamber.
•If you'reusing a pair of batteries, change them at the same time; never mix new and old batteries.
•When not using the camera for a long period, take bat- teries out and store them in a cool, dry place.
•Never disassemble batteries or discard them in fire.
•When using a pair of batteries, make sure they are of the same make.
•Always check battery power before the shooting session because battery power can become exhausted without warning. It is a good idea to have spare batteries on hand during a protracted shooting assignment.
•In normal use, a battery'slifespan is about one year. The battery packed with this camera, however, is for test pur- poses only so its lifespan may be shorter than usual.
