On Nickel-Metal Hydride batteries Effective use of the battery • Battery performance decreases in lowtemperature surroundings, and the battery life is shortened under such circumstances. To use the battery longer, we recommend you keep the battery in its case in a pocket close to your body to warm it, and insert it in your camera just before you start shooting. • If you set [LCD LIGHT] to [OFF], the battery will run for a longer amount of time. • If you shoot a lot using the flash, the battery power will be used up faster. • We recommend having spare batteries handy for two or three times the expected shooting time, and try test shooting before actually using the camera. • Do not expose the battery to water. The battery is not water-resistant. Battery life • The battery life is limited. The battery capacity decreases little by little as you use it more and more, and as time passes. When the battery operating time seems to have been considerably shortened, a probable cause is that the batteries have reached the end of their life. • The battery life varies depending on storage, operating conditions, and environment, and is different for each battery. 78
