BATTERY HANDLING
! This camera uses four AA NiMH batteries, AA alkaline batteries, AA
lithium batteries or AA NiCd batteries.
!
Performance will be limited with alkaline batteries, especially in low
temperatures. NiMH batteries are recommended.
! AA manganese batteries or a CR-V3 lithium battery pack cannot be
used.
! Use the batteries correctly. Incorrect use can cause fluid leakage, heat
generation, or other damage. When replacing batteries, be sure to
load them correctly.
! The batteries may be temporarily disabled when exposed to cold
temperatures. Try to keep the camera and batteries warm when using
the camera in a cold environment. Batteries that are weak in cold
temperatures will be restored under normal temperatures.
! Sweat, oil, etc. can prevent a battery’s terminals from making
electrical contact. To avoid this, wipe both terminals before loading the
battery.
! Keep spare batteries on hand when going on a long trip. New
batteries may be difficult or impossible to obtain abroad.
!
When using NiMH batteries or NiCd batteries, make sure to charge
them fully with the correct battery charger.
! Read instructions carefully before handling NiMH batteries or NiCd
batteries.
! NEVER use any battery whose body is not covered by the insulating
sheet, as it may cause a fire or injury.
