Using Your Batteries
For best performance and prolonged battery life, we recommend the use of AA lithium or
rechargeable
Ni-MH batteries.
Extending battery life
The following functions use up a great deal of battery power and should therefore only be
used occasionally:
• Excessive use of flash
• Editing images on the camera display
• Using the camera display as a view finder
The battery life can be affected by soiling. Please clean the contacts with a clean and dry cloth
before putting the batteries in the camera.
Battery performance drops at temperatures below 5 °C (41 °F). If you use the camera at low
temperatures you should have replacement batteries to hand and ensure they do not get too cold.
Please note: you should not dispose of cold and seemingly flat batteries because these batteries
may work again at room temperature.
