• Perspiration or oil from your hands on the battery contacts could prevent them from
operating. Before loading batteries, wipe the terminals with a dry, clean cloth.
• Before going on a long trip, especially before traveling abroad, purchase an ample
supply of extra batteries. The recommended batteries may be difficult to obtain while
traveling.
• Always recharge NiMH or NiCd batteries with a charger recommended for use with
these batteries.
• Before using NiMH or NiCd batteries, always read the instructions provided with
purchase of these batteries.
• To avoid personal injury or damage to the camera, always inspect batteries before
loading. If you notice leaking, damage to the battery cover or insulation, discoloration,
warping, or any other abnormality, do not use the batteries.
• Recommended temperature ranges for NiMH batteries:
Operation ................................ 32° to 104°F
Charge .................................... 32° to 104°F
Storage.................................... –4° to 86°F
• Using, charging, or storing the batteries outside these ranges could shorten battery
life or affect battery performance. Always unload the batteries from the camera before
storing the camera and batteries for a long period.
About the Monitor
• The monitor is a consumable item and will eventually wear out. If the monitor image
becomes too dark or begins to flicker, have the camera serviced at an authorized
service center.
• The monitor’s backlight may not perform optimally in cold environments: it may take
extra time to come on, and the color may suddenly change. Try to keep the camera
relatively warm even when the surroundings are cold. Performance will return to
normal when the camera warms up.
• When you switch from one picture display to another, you may notice that a few pixels
fail to make the change correctly. You may also notice some variance in the
brightness. These limitations are inherent in the technology and are not considered a
defect.
