<Battery Precautions>
• Always replace the batteries with new ones of the same type.
Do not mix different kinds of batteries or new and old batteries.
Always use two new batteries of the same type and brand.
• Generally, battery performance is reduced by cold

to keep the camera warm in a bag or an outfit for protection
against cold. The battery reduced by low temperatures
will return to normal when you take pictures at
an ordinary temperature.
• Before loading the batteries wipe both poles clean with
a dry cloth because poor contact may result if they are
soiled with sweat or grease.

with you.
• Do not throw used batteries into fire or try to change or
disassemble them because it is dangerous.
• The 3V lithium battery (CR2) cannot be charged by any means.
