Using your batteries
For best performance and prolonged battery life, we recommend the use of AA lithium or
rechargeable Ni-MH batteries.
Extending battery life
The following functions use up a great deal of battery power and should therefore only be used
occasionally
• Excessive use of flash
• Editing images on the camera display
The battery life can be affected by soiling. Please clean the contacts with a clean and dry cloth
before putting the batteries in the camera. Battery performance drops at temperatures below 5° C
(41° F). If you use the camera at low temperatures you should have replacement batteries to hand
and ensure they do not get too cold. Please note: you should not dispose of cold and seemingly flat
batteries because these batteries may work again at room temperature.
