The performance of all batteries will decrease as the
temperature drops. For best performance in cold
environments, use Energizer Lithium AA batteries. NiMH
batteries may also provide acceptable low temperature
performance. To improve the performance of all battery
types, keep the camera and/or batteries stored in a warm
inside pocket when in a cold environment.

Extending Battery Life

Here are some tips for extending battery life:

z

Turn off the Image Display and use the viewfinder instead
when framing pictures and video. Leave the Image Display
off whenever possible.

z

Change the

Live View at Power On

setting in the

Setup

Menu

to

Live View Off

, so that your camera does not power

on in

Live View

(see

Live View at Power On

on page 81).

z

Change the

Display Brightness

setting in the

Setup Menu

to

Low

, so that the Image Display consumes less power when

in

Live View

(see

Display Brightness

on page 80).

z

Minimize the use of flash by setting your camera to

Auto

Flash

, instead of

Flash On

(see

Setting the Flash

on

page 36).

z

Use zoom only when necessary to minimize moving the lens
(see

Using Zoom

on page 34).
