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 expiration date are exceptions) might affect the number of
pictures that can be taken. Therefore, to maximize their performance and lifetime, we recommend 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.
