7.3 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.
