Minolta X-700 - Manual (Page 17)

Battery holder
Fresh spare batteries can be
stored in the battery holder thread-
ed on the camera strap (p. 9 ) . To
insert batteries, form a loop as
shown above then drop them in.
Slide the holder off the strap to
remove batteries.
NOTE
• If the camera is not to be used for
more than t w o weeks, it is advisable
to remove the batteries (especially
old ones).
Cold-weather operation
Since batteries tend to lose pow-
er as they become colder, always
use fresh batteries and keep a spare
set with you when using your cam-
era in cold weather. For prolonged
cold-weather use (approx. O°C or
lower), silver-oxide batteries are re-
commended. Battery capacity will
be restored as temperatures rise.
NOTE
• If a lithium battery is used below
0°C, the camera may not operate.
• Never transfer the camera directly
from low to high temperatures as
condensation may f o r m inside and
prevent normal operation.
