Materials - Cautions for Use  When Using in Cold Places or at Low Temperatures • Skin burns may result if you leave the metal parts of the camera in direct contact with the skin for long periods of time at cold places (environments with temperatures at or below 0 oC (32 oF), such as ski resorts or places at high altitude). Use gloves or similar when using it for long periods. • The performance of the battery (Number of pictures that can be taken/available recording time) may decrease temporarily at temperatures between −10 °C and 0 °C (14 oF and 32 oF). Keep the battery warm as you are using by keeping it inside your cold weather gear or clothes. Battery performance will recover when the internal temperature rises again. • The battery cannot be charged at temperatures below 0 °C (32 oF). When charging is not possible, the charging light on the camera body blinks red. • If using in cold locations, do not allow water droplets and snow to remain on the camera. If these are left on the camera, water may freeze in gaps in the camera on/off switch, speaker, and microphone, making these parts difficult to move, and/or leading to reduced volume. This is not a malfunction. 755
