Pentax SF10 - Precautions on Battery

PRECAUTIONS ON BATTERY
• This camera is powered by one "2CR5"-type lithium
battery.
• Inserting or handling the battery improperly may result
in leakage, heat generation or explosion. Be sure to insert
the battery with its (+) or (-) side facing correctly as
indicated in the chamber.
• When not using the camera for an extended period of
time, remove the battery from the camera and keep it
somewhere beyond reach of small children. An old
battery is apt to leak and can cause damage to the
battery chamber.
• Never try to break up, or recharge the battery, or throw
old ones into fire; they may explode.
• The battery may not function properly in low
temperatures, although it depends on the type and
brand.
• Just to be safe, carry a spare battery when shooting
outdoors or on a trip.
• When storing the camera in a bag or a case, make sure
the main switch is turned off, to avoid accidental shutter
release and unnecessary battery consumption.
• When the built-in flash (RTF) is used continuously,
the battery may heat slightly, but it does not mean the
battery is faulty; it is one of the battery's characteristics.
• Battery life (according to number of rolls of film used
and use of bulb mode):
Normal
temperature
Without RTF
Approx, 1 50 rolls
With RTF
(used for 50% of exposures)
Approx. 40 rolls
With RTF
(used for every exposure)
Approx. 20 rolls
Bulb exposure time
(at normal temperature)
Approx. 10 hours
• Under Pentax testing conditions
* The number of rolls is based on use of 24 exposure film.
