Caution concerning the batteries and terminals
œ
Periodically clean the battery terminals ((+) and (–)) as well as the
terminals in the camera’s battery compartment cover with a dry cloth.
Do not touch the terminals of either the batteries or the battery
compartment with your bare hands. Doing so will allow contaminants from
your hands to adhere to the terminals and oxidize, increasing the contact
resistance. If the contact resistance increases, the usable life of the
batteries will diminish.
