Batteries

When you turn the camera on, check the battery level displayed in the
start-up window to determine whether the batteries need to be replaced.
See “Checking Battery Level” for a description of the battery level
indicator.

Replace the batteries with AA alkaline batteries. Do not use nickel-
cadmium batteries.

On cold days, the capacity of batteries tends to decrease. When taking
pictures outside in cold weather, keep a spare set of warm batteries on
hand.
