On Nickel-Metal Hydride batteries
Effective use of the battery
• Battery performance decreases in low-
temperature surroundings, and the battery
life is shortened under such
circumstances. To use the battery longer,
we recommend you keep the battery in its
case in a pocket close to your body to
warm it, and insert it in your camera just
before you start shooting.
• If you set [LCD LIGHT] to [OFF], the
battery will run for a longer amount of
time.
• If you shoot a lot using the flash, the
battery power will be used up faster.
• We recommend having spare batteries
handy for two or three times the expected
shooting time, and try test shooting
before actually using the camera.
• Do not expose the battery to water. The
battery is not water-resistant.
Battery life
• The battery life is limited. The battery
capacity decreases little by little as you
use it more and more, and as time passes.
When the battery operating time seems to
have been considerably shortened, a
probable cause is that the batteries have
reached the end of their life.
• The battery life varies depending on
storage, operating conditions, and
environment, and is different for each
battery.
