Using Your Batteries

Our laboratory testing has shown that our digital camera models comply with industry standard

battery consumption levels (Camera & Imaging Products Association commonly known as CIPA).

All digital cameras are high drain products. For the best performance and prolonged battery life,

we recommend the use of high capacity batteries designed for such applications.

Here are some helpful hints to extend battery life considerably by limiting the following activities:

Reviewing the pictures on the LCD Screen

Using the optical viewfinder (if your camera has one) to frame the subject when taking pictures

Excessive use of the flash

Remove batteries from your camera when not in use.

WARNING!

Batteries should be replaced by an adult.

Use recommended or equivalent type of batteries only.

Insert the batteries in the correct orientation.

Remove exhausted batteries from the camera immediately.

Do not short the supply terminals.

Please dispose of the batteries properly.
