Canon EOS ELAN7NE-33V - Manual (Page 7)

LCD Displays
LCD displays operate more slowly at low temperatures, and may appear
dark at high temperatures. The display will return to normal at room
temperature.
Batteries
• 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 a
battery in high-temperature places or short circuit the battery contacts
or toss a battery into a fire.
• Although the batteries work well even at low temperatures, battery
performance may decline slightly at freezing temperatures. In such a
case, keep spare batteries warm in a pocket, etc., and use and warm
the batteries alternately.
How Low Battery Levels Affect Camera Operation
On the LCD panel, if the <r> icon blinks or it is not displayed, a proper
exposure can still be obtained as long as the shutter releases. However,
when the battery level is low, the film advance and auto rewind might
stop midway or not work at all and the <r> icon may blink on the LCD
panel. After the batteries are replaced with new ones, film advance will
be possible and film rewind can resume by pressing the
<

Lens Electrical Contacts
After detaching the lens from the camera, put on
the lens caps or put down the lens with the rear
end up to avoid scratching the lens surface and
electrical contacts.
