BATTERY HANDLING
n This camera uses four AA NiMH batteries, AA alkaline
batteries, AA lithium batteries or AA NiCd batteries.
n Performance will be limited with alkaline batteries,
especially in low temperatures. NiMH batteries are
recommended.
n Do not use manganese batteries. Besides shortening
battery life, they may overheat and damage the
camera.
n Use the batteries correctly. Incorrect use can cause
fluid leak, heat generation, or other damage. When
replacing batteries, be sure to load them correctly.
n The batteries may be temporarily disabled when
exposed to cold temperatures. Try to keep the camera
and batteries warm when using the camera in a cold
environment. Batteries that are weak in cold
temperatures will be restored under normal
temperatures.
n Sweat, oil, etc. can prevent a battery’s terminals from
making electrical contact. To avoid this, wipe both
terminals before loading the battery.
n Keep spare batteries on hand when going on a long
trip. New batteries may be difficult or impossible to
obtain abroad.
n When using NiMH batteries or NiCd batteries, make
sure to charge them fully with the correct battery
charger.
n Read instructions carefully before handling NiMH
batteries or NiCd batteries.
