. Remove the batteries and store the camera with a desiccant_____
IIf you do not intend to use the camera for a long time, remove the batteries to
protect the camera from battery leakage.
• In a humid environment, store the camera inside a plastic bag with a desiccant
to keep out dust, moisture and salt. Note, however, that storing leather cases in
vinyl bags may cause the leather to deteriorate. Keep the batteries in a cool, dry
place away from heat or humidity.
• Change the desiccant occasionally since it does not absorb moisture effectively
after a while.
• Leaving the camera unused for a long period of time may cause mold to grow
and result in malfunction. Turn the power on and release the shutter a few times
once per month.
•To maintain the built-in Speedlight in peak condition, fire it a few times every
month. This will enable you to use the flash for many years.
Notes on Batteries
«Use two CR123A or DL123A lithium batteries______________
Use two CR123A or DL123A lithium batteries.
• Change the batteries well before the end of their life and prepare spare batteries
before important photographic occasions.
•Turn the camera power off when changing batteries___________
Turn the camera power off before changing batteries and insert the batteries with
(+) and (-) ends positioned correctly.
• Stains on the battery poles may cause lack of contact. Wipe the batteries well
with a dry cloth before installing.
• Use fresh batteries at low temperatures__________________
Battery power diminishes at extremely low temperatures and the camera may not
function properly with old batteries. Use a fresh set of batteries at low
temperatures, keep spare batteries warm, and use them alternately.
• Film advance speed lowers and number of usable film rolls becomes less at low
temperatures. However, battery power may recover when the temperature
returns to normal.
• Do not throw batteries into a fire or short circuit batteries_______
Do not throw batteries into a fire. Do not short, disassemble, heat or charge
batteries.
