.

For acceptable battery life, and to make sure your camera operates
dependably, we do not recommend or support alkaline batteries.

m

To lengthen battery life, limit the following activities:

– Using Liveview (using the LCD as the viewfinder, see

page 14

)

– Reviewing your pictures on the LCD (see

page 27

)

– Excessive use of the flash

m

Dirt on battery contacts can affect battery life. Wipe the contacts with a
clean, dry cloth before loading batteries in the camera.

m

NOT ALL BATTERIES ARE CREATED EQUAL! Battery life depends
significantly on battery age, usage conditions, type, and brand. Digital
camera requirements are very demanding on batteries. Not all batteries
perform well under these challenging conditions. For a comparison of
different battery types, refer to the Battery Option sheet that is included
with your camera.

Battery performance is reduced at temperatures below 41

°

F (5

°

C). Carry

spare batteries when using your camera in cold weather, and keep them
warm until you are ready to take pictures. Do not discard cold batteries
that do not work. When they return to room temperature, they may
be usable.
