• Generally, battery performance temporarily deteriorates as the
temperature decreases. When the camera is used in a cold
environment, keep this product warm by holding it in some
protection against cold or inside the clothes. Battery performance
once deteriorated due to low temperature will be recovered when
the batteries are returned to room temperature.
• Due to the characteristics of AA alkaline batteries, camera
performance may deteriorate at low temperatures. Use of other
batteries (such as CR-V3) is recommended when using the
camera at low temperatures.
• Be sure to take a spare battery with you when travelling abroad or
to a cold region or if you intend to take a lot of pictures.
• You can maximize battery life by turning off the LCD monitor, and
using the viewfinder to take pictures.
