VI. Reference
Lithium Batteries
The camera operates on two DL123A (or CR123A) lithium batteries.
Check the battery level in the following cases:
1. After replacing the batteries.
2. After not using the camera for an extended period.
3. The shutter does not work.
4. The camera is being used in a low-temperature environment.
5. Before using the camera for an important event.
Also note the following:
■ Before installing the batteries, wipe the battery contacts to remove any fingerprints and
smudges. This is to prevent faulty connections and corrosion.
* Never disassemble or recharge the batteries. Also, never store the batteries in high-
temperature places or short circuit the battery contacts or toss the battery into a fire.
* Although the batteries work well even at low temperatures, battery performance may
suffer slightly at freezing temperatures. In such a case, keep spare batteries warm in a
pocket, etc., and use and warm the batteries alternately.
Low Battery Power
When only the 'em symbol blinks on the LCD panel, a picture can still be
taken at the proper exposure. However, there may not be enough battery
power to advance and rewind the film automatically. Replace with new
batteries.
Lens
To avoid getting the lens surface and electronic contacts scratched,
attach the rear lens cap to the detached lens or always put down the lens
with the rear end up.
