E BATTERY HANDLING Ⅲ This camera uses four AA NiMH batteries, AA alkaline batteries, AA lithium batteries or AA NiCd batteries. Ⅲ Performance will be limited with alkaline batteries, especially in low temperatures. NiMH batteries are recommended. Ⅲ Do not use manganese batteries. Besides shortening battery life, they may overheat and damage the camera. Ⅲ Use the batteries correctly. Incorrect use can cause fluid leak, heat generation, or other damage. When replacing batteries, be sure to load them correctly. Ⅲ 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.

Ⅲ Keep spare batteries on hand when going on a long trip. New batteries may be difficult or impossible to obtain abroad. Ⅲ When using NiMH batteries or NiCd batteries, make sure to charge them fully with the correct battery charger. Ⅲ Read instructions carefully before handling NiMH batteries or NiCd batteries. 28
