• Power consumption by the camera varies depending on which
functions are used.
• During the conditions described below, power is consumed
continuously and the battery becomes exhausted quickly.
• The zoom is used repeatedly.
• The shutter button is pressed halfway repeatedly in shooting
mode, activating the auto focus.
• A picture is displayed on the monitor for an extended period
of time.
• The camera is connected to a printer.
• Using an exhausted battery may cause the camera to turn off
without displaying the battery level warning.
• Battery life varies depending on the type of battery,
manufacturer, shooting conditions, etc. Similarly, the camera
may turn off without displaying the battery level warning or may
display the battery level warning more quickly.

without displaying the battery level warning.
• Always charge NiMH batteries before using them for the fi rst
time, or if they have not been used for a long period.
• In some cases, alkaline batteries may have a shorter service
life than NiMH. Alkaline battery performance is limited,
especially at low temperatures. The use of NiMH batteries is
recommended.
• When operating the camera with battery power at low
temperatures, try to keep the camera and spare battery as warm
as possible. A battery that has run down at low temperatures
may be restored after it is warmed at room temperature.
• Before going on a long trip, and especially before traveling
abroad, purchase extra batteries. A recommended battery may
be diffi cult to obtain while traveling.
• 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 for a long period.
• Before using NiMH batteries, always read the provided
instructions.
