• In general, battery performance temporarily deteriorates as the temperature decreases. When using the camera in a cold environment, keep it warm by putting it in your pocket or inside your coat. Battery performance that has deteriorated due to low temperature will be restored when the battery is returned to room temperature.

•Due to the characteristics of AA alkaline batteries, camera performance may deteriorate. AA alkaline battery is not recommended except for emergencies.

•Due to the characteristics of AA alkaline and AA nickel manganese batteries, camera performance may deteriorate at low temperatures. Use of other batteries (such as CR-V3) is recommended when using the camera at low temperatures.

•Be sure to take spare batteries with you when traveling abroad or to a cold region, or if you intend to take a lot of pictures.

•Battery Level Indicator

You can check the battery level by the # symbol on the LCD monitor.

#	(lit green)	: Adequate power remains.
↓
$	(lit yellow)	: Battery is running very low.
↓
%	(lit red)	: Battery is exhausted.
↓
[Battery Depleted]		: The camera will turn off after the message appears.

When using AA nickel manganese batteries, the battery strength may not be properly displayed due to the characteristics of this kind of battery. The battery level indicator may show # even after using the batteries for a long time. The camera also may turn off, without warning while the battery level indicator still shows #.
