TIPS ON BATTERY
USE------------
•
Keep
batteries away from infants and small chil-
dren.
In
case a battery
is
accidentally swallowed,
call a doctor immediately
as
the material inside the
batteries may
be
fatal.
• Battery power falls off
in
extremely cold temper-
atures
and
this may cause the camera to cease to
operate.
In
this situation,
use
new batteries and
protect the camera body from the cold. Note that
battery power will
be
recovered
as
soon
as
the
temperature becomes normal.
•
When
not using the camera for a long period of
time, take the batteries out and store them
in
a cool
(below 20°C), dry place. Should the batteries
be
left
in
the battery chamber for a long period of time,
insufficient contact may occur due to battery con-
tamination. Thus,
it
is
good practice to periodically
clean the batteries and the contact section
in
the
battery chamber with a soft cloth. If the battery
chamber
is
stained
by
a leaking battery, remove
the
batteries at once and clean the chamber.
• Never mix new and old batteries or batteries of
different makes.
• Always check battery power before every shooting
session. It
is
a good idea to have spare batteries
on
hand during a lengthy shooting assignment.
• Never disassemble batteries or dispose of them by
burning.
