Shooting and Playback Basics
•
When taking pictures on long trips, on special occasions or in cold locations,
keep spare batteries handy.
•
The length of time for which the different battery check indicators appear
varies depending on the type of batteries used.
•
If you use NiMH batteries, the blinking battery low warning will appear sooner
than when lithium battery packs are used.
•
When you are running the camera on batteries that are close the end of
their operating life, the camera may emit a rapid series of short beeps as a
warning after you take a shot or when you switch the camera on. The num-
ber of storable pictures shown on the control panel may also blink. If this
happens, your shot will not be taken correctly. Replace the batteries and
take the picture again.
