• Remove the batteries when they are not in use for an extended period. Leaking batteries will damage the
battery compartment.
• Occasionally, when using alkaline batteries, the battery-condition indicator will indicate low power when
in fact, there is a sufficient charge.
Except when connected to a computer and/or transfer r ing data between them, continue to use the camera.
