PRECAUTIONS FOR BATTERY USAGE

• Use two 3V lithium batteries (CR2 type).
• Misuse of the battery can cause hazards such as leakage, overheating,

explosion, etc. The battery should be inserted correctly with regard to
polarity (+ and -) marked on the battery and the camera.

• Battery performance may be temporarily hindered in low temperatures,

but will recover in normal temperatures.

• Keep a spare battery on hand for replacement convenience when

shooting outdoors or while traveling.

• If the built-in flash is used continuously, the battery may become warm,

but it does not mean that the battery is faulty; it is one of the battery's
characteristics.

• Replace the batteries at the same time. Do not mix battery brands, type

or an old battery with a new one. It may cause explosion or overheating.
