Notes on Battery Usage
When you use the battery, carefully read and strictly observe the Safety Instructions and the notes
described below:
Different battery types and surrounding temperatures may affect the battery performance.
Avoid using batteries in extremely cold environments as low temperatures can shorten the battery life
and reduce camera performance. This low temperature will also influence Alkaline battery performance,
therefore Ni-MH rechargeable battery is highly recommended.
If you are using the new rechargeable batteries or rechargeable batteries that have not
been used for an extended period of time (batteries that pass the expiry date are exceptions) might
affect the number of pictures that can be taken. 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 battery may feel warm when using the camera for an extended period of time or using the flash
continuously. This is normal and not a malfunction.
The camera may feel warm when being used continuously or for an extended period of time. This is
normal and not a malfunction.
If you will not be using the batteries for an extended period of time, remove them from the camera to
prevent leakage or corrosion.
Never use batteries of different types (together) or mix old and new batteries.
Always keep the terminals in a clean state.
Never use manganese batteries.
Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type.
Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions.
