• The values indicated above tend to decrease
depending on the temperature in which the
camera is used. In a cold environment, warming
the battery in your hands, for example, could
increase the number of images you can record.
• Frequent use of the flash, zoom function and LCD
monitor will contribute to running down of the
battery. Keep their use to a minimum.
■
Precautions for Use
• When purchasing a spare battery, be sure to buy only the
specified type.
mmmmSee “Optional Accessories” (p.117).
• Wipe the contacts of the battery and camera with a soft dry
cloth.
• When used continuously for a long period, the battery may
become hot. Allow to cool before removing.
• If you do not intend to use the camera for a long period,
discharge the battery completely before removing it, and
store it in a cool place. Charge it fully before using it again.
