ARE AND STORAGE
BATTERIES
• Battery performance decreases with temperature. In cold environments, we recommend keeping spare
batteries in a warm place, such as the inside of a coat. Batteries can recover their power when they warm
up. As the performance of Ni-MH batteries are less affected by temperature, their use is recommended
when shooting in cold environments.
• Remove the batteries when the camera is not in use for an extended period. Leaking battery fluid may
damage the battery-chamber.
• Occasionally, when using alkaline batteries, the battery-condition indicator will give a false low-battery-
power warning, even though there is enough power capacity. Continue to use the camera; the low-battery
indicator will disappear.
• If batteries have been exhausted when used in the camera, do not reload them even if their charge
seems to recover over time. These batteries will interfere with normal camera operation.
• A special built-in battery supplies power to the camera clock. If the clock resets when the camera is on,
the battery is exhausted. The battery must be replaced at a Minolta service facility. The battery life is
approximately five years.
ABOUT NI-MH BATTERIES
• When using Ni-MH batteries, clean both battery terminals with dry cloth to wipe off any dirt or residue.
Because of the sophisticated computer system, the camera critically monitors power levels. If the battery
terminals are dirty, the camera may give a false low-battery warning. If battery performance is unusually
low, wipe the battery terminals with a clean, dry cloth.
• Ni-MH battery performance will decrease if the batteries are often recharged before they have been fully
discharged. Completely exhaust the Ni-MH batteries using the camera before charging.
• Recharge the batteries in a battery set simultaneously. It is recommended that the batteries used with the
camera are not used with any other device. Always follow the directions and safety instructions in the
charger manual.
• When initially using new Ni-MH batteries or Ni-MH batteries that have been stored for a long period,
battery performance is not optimal. The performance increases with use; repeat the cycle of fully charging
the batteries and then completely discharging them by using the camera several times to increase
performance.
