Notes on Battery Usage
When you use the batteries, 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 batteries 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 clean.
Never use manganese batteries.
There is a risk of explosion if the batteries are replaced with an incorrect type.
