• The number of available shots will be lower in cold
locations or at low temperatures. You can increase the
amount of power produced by putting the camera in
your pocket or another warm place to heat it just before
taking pictures. If you are using a heating pad, take
care not to place the camera directly against the pad.
Charging the Battery
