Cautions about using the battery
Protect batteries and memory cards from damage
Prevent batteries from making contact with metal objects, as this
can create a connection between the + and – terminals of your
battery and lead to temporary or permanent battery damage and
may cause a fire or electric shock.
Handle and dispose of batteries with care
• Never dispose of batteries in a fire. Follow all local regulations
when you dispose of used batteries.
• Never place batteries or cameras on or in heating devices,
such as microwave ovens, stoves, or radiators. Batteries may
explode when they are overheated.

Notes about using the battery
• Avoid exposing batteries to very cold or very hot temperatures
(below 0 °C/32 °F or above 40 °C/104 °F). Extreme
temperatures can reduce the battery life.
• When you use the camera for an extended period, the area
around the battery chamber may become warm. This does not
affect the normal use of the camera.
• In temperatures below 0 °C/32 °F, battery capacity and battery
life may decrease.
• Battery capacity may decrease in low temperatures but will
return to normal in milder temperatures.
• Primary cells cannot be recharged. If you try to recharge it, the
batteries may leak.
• Battery capacity may vary by manufacturer.
