Cautions about using the battery
Protect batteries and memory cards from damage
Prevent batteries from making contact with metal objects, as this
can create a connection between the + and – terminals of your
battery and lead to temporary or permanent battery damage and
may cause a fire or electric shock.
Handle and dispose of batteries with care
• Never dispose of batteries in a fire. Follow all local regulations
when you dispose of used batteries.
• Never place batteries or cameras on or in heating devices,
such as microwave ovens, stoves, or radiators. Batteries may
explode when they are overheated.
About the battery
Low battery message
When the batteries discharge completely, the battery icon turns
red and a message ‘Low Battery’ appears. Replace with new
AA alkaline batteries.
Notes about using the battery
• Avoid exposing batteries to very cold or very hot temperatures
(below 0 °C/32 °F or above 40 °C/104 °F). Extreme
temperatures can reduce the battery life.
• When you use the camera for an extended period, the area
around the battery chamber may become warm. This does not
affect the normal use of the camera.
• In temperatures below 0 °C/32 °F, battery capacity and battery
life may decrease.
• Battery capacity may decrease in low temperatures but will
return to normal in milder temperatures.
• Primary cells cannot be recharged. If you try to recharge it, the
batteries may leak.
• Battery capacity may vary by manufacturer.
