Using batteries correctly • 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. • The battery discharges small amounts of energy even when not in use. Therefore, the batteries supplied with your camera may be slightly below full capacity, as it has taken some time to reach you. • Replace both batteries at the same time. Do not mix battery brands and types, or old batteries with new batteries. • Battery life is approximately six months for alkaline and approximately one year for silver or lithium 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 travel ing, etc. • When keeping the camera in a bag or case, lock the shutter release button to avoid the unnecessary consumption of battery power that may result from accidentally releasing the shutter. • 12

Using
batteries
correctly
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.
The
battery
discharges
small
amounts
of
energy
even
when
not
in
use.
Therefore,
the
batteries
supplied
with
your
camera
may
be
slightly
below
full
capacity,
as
it
has
taken
some
time
to
reach
you.
Replace
both
batteries
at
the
same
time.
Do
not
mix
battery
brands
and
types,
or
old
batteries
with
new
batteries.
Battery
life
is
approximately
six
months
for
alkaline
and
approximately
one
year
for
silver
or
lithium
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
travel
ing,
etc.
When
keeping
the
camera
in
a
bag
or
case,
lock
the
shutter
release
button
to
avoid
the
unnecessary
consumption
of
battery
power
that
may
result
from
accidentally
releasing
the
shutter.
