Extending battery life
■
Use the EVF instead of the LCD (
see page 8
). Use a power-saving LCD Brightness
setting (
see page 44
).
■
Charge the batteries when necessary.
■
Dirt on the battery contacts can affect battery life. Wipe the contacts with a clean,
dry cloth before loading the batteries in the camera.
■
Battery performance is reduced at temperatures below 41
°
F (5
°
C). When using
your camera in cold weather, carry spare batteries and keep them warm. Do not
discard cold batteries that do not work; when they return to room temperature,
they may be usable.
