The battery drains quickly.

Check the following concerning handling of the battery.

Battery performance temporarily declines when used in cold temperatures, reducing the

time that it can be used.

To get more operating time out of the battery when cold, warm it up in a pocket or the

like, and then reattach it to the camera just before shooting.

The battery drains quicker if you frequently perform operations such as flash and zoom

photography or shoot movies.

The battery normally discharges slightly even when the camera is turned off. Remove the

battery after charging, and store it separately.

Wipe off the dirt with a dry cloth, cotton swab, or the like.

The battery or camera becomes hot or very

warm to the touch.

The camera or battery is heated to some extent during operation because the power consumed by

the camera is partly converted to heat. Normally, this is not an indication of a malfunction. If

necessary, turn the camera off and allow time for it to cool down.
