In addition, the battery remaining indicator is not displayed correctly.

•When alkaline batteries are used, take note of the following information.

–The battery life is shorter than that of the supplied Nickel-Metal Hydride batteries.

–There is a big difference in the performance of batteries of different types and of batteries made by different manufacturers. The battery life may be quite a bit shorter depending on the conditions under which the batteries are used. This is especially true in low temperatures, where some batteries are noticeably weaker.

You may not be able to shoot in temperatures below 5°C (41°F).
