Problem Symptom Cause Solution
When using Ni-MH batteries, clean both battery terminals with a dry cloth to wipe off any dirt or
residue. Because of the sophisticated computer system, the camera critically monitors power levels. If
the battery terminals are dirty, the camera may give a false low-battery warning. If battery perfor-
mance is unusually low, wipe the battery terminals with a clean, dry cloth.
Ni-MH battery performance will decrease if the batteries are often recharged before they have been
fully discharged. Completely exhaust the Ni-MH batteries using the camera before charging.
