Battery performance decreases in low-temperature surroundings. So, the time that the battery pack can be used is shorter in cold places. We recommend the following to use the battery pack longer:

Put the battery pack in a pocket close to your body to warm it up, and insert it in your camera immediately before you start taking shots.

Use the large capacity battery pack (NP-F550, optional).

Frequently using the LCD panel or frequently operating the zoom wears out the battery pack faster. We recommend using the large capacity battery pack (NP-F550, optional).

Be certain to turn the POWER switch to off when not taking shots or playing back on your camera.
