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.
