The batteries soon run down.

The camera is being 
used in a cold 
environment.

Battery performance deteriorates in low 
temperatures. Keep the camera warm by putting 
it inside your coat or clothing.

—

The camera misread 
the remaining battery 
power.

When the power consumption fluctuates greatly, 
the camera may turn off without displaying the low 
battery warning. Replace with new batteries.
