PRECAUTIONS ON BATTERIES • Incorrect usage of batteries causes such hazards as leakage, heating or explosions. Polarity markings should be carefully checked while inserting batteries. If either battery is erroneously inserted, unexpected mishap may occur. • Replace both batteries at the same time. Do not mix battery brands and types, or old batteries with new batteries. • When not using the camera for long periods of time, you should remove batteries from the camera. Old batteries are apt to leak and damage the battery compartment. Always keep batteries out of the reach of children. • Never break, recharge, or throw used batteries into fire as a precaution against explosions. • Batteries should be kept warm in cold climates to prevent lowering of performance. • Keep spare batteries on hand for convenience in photographing outdoors or while traveling, etc. • One set of alkaline batteries should last about six months and one set of silver-oxide batteries about a year, both with average use. • When keeping the camera in a bag or case, be sure to turn the main switch off to avoid the unnecessary consumption of battery power that may result from accidentally releasing the shutter. 43 •
