Notes on Battery Usage
When you use the batteries, carefully read and strictly observe the Safety Instructions and the notes described below:
Use only the specified batteries.
Avoid extremely cold environments as low temperatures can shorten the battery life and reduce Camera performance. Therefore Ni-MH rechargeable batteries are highly recommended.
When you are using a new rechargeable batteries or rechargeable batteries that have not been used for an extended period of time (the batteries that passed the expiry date are exception), it may affect the number of images that can be captured. Therefore, to maximize their performance and lifetime, we recommend that you fully charge the batteries and discharge them for at least one complete cycle before use. The batteries may feel warm after a long period of continuous use of the Camera or the flash. This is normal and not a malfunction.
The Camera may feel warm after a long period of continuous use. This is normal and not a malfunction.
If the batteries are not to be used for a long period of time, remove them from the Camera to prevent leakage or corrosion and store them after no battery power is left. Stored for a long time in a fully charged condition, their performance may be impaired.
Always keep the battery terminals clean.
There is a risk of explosion if the batteries are replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose of used batteries according to the recycle instructions.
Charge the rechargeable batteries fully before using for the first time.
Never use batteries of different types (together) or mix old and new batteries. Never use manganese batteries.
To prevent short-circuiting or fire, keep the batteries away from other metal objects when carrying or storing.
