Batteries
Be sure to remove the batteries when you will not be using the camera for a long
period of time.
• If the temperature is too high or low, the terminals may rust causing a malfunction.
If you drop the batteries accidentally, check to see if the body of the batteries and
the terminals are damaged.
• Inserting a damaged battery in the camera will damage the camera.
Bring charged spare batteries when going out.
• Be aware that the operating time of the batteries becomes shorter in low temperature
conditions such as at a ski resort.
• Battery performance may vary greatly depending on the brand used and the storage life
and conditions of the batteries.
• Battery performance temporarily deteriorates in low temperature conditions (10 °C or
less). However, it recovers when the temperature returns to normal.
• Depending on the temperature and the conditions of use, the camera may not operate
properly and the batteries may become exhausted without warning because the battery
indication is not displayed correctly. This is not a malfunction.
• Exhausted batteries may recover some performance if left for a period of time. However,
they cannot be used for a long time. Be sure to replace them with new batteries.
Dispose of unusable batteries.
• Batteries have a limited life.
• Do not throw batteries into re because they may cause an explosion.
Do not allow battery terminals to come into contact with metal objects (such as
necklaces, hairpins, etc.).
• This can cause short circuiting or heat generation and you may be badly burned if you
touch the batteries.
Never leave the camera and the batteries in a car or on a car dashboard in the
summer.
• It may cause leakage of the battery electrolyte, a generation of heat, and may cause a
re and batteries to burst due to the high temperature.
