ª Condensation
When using the camera outdoors during 
very cold weather, condensation can 
form on the camera and lens when you 
return to a warm place.
When condensation has taken place:
Turn the camera off and leave the 
camera in this condition for about 
2 hours. When the camera becomes 
close to the ambient temperature, the 
condensation disappears naturally. 
ª Optimal Use of the Batteries
The AA Ni-MH (nickel-metal hydride) 
batteries are rechargeable. The 
AA Alkaline batteries cannot be 
recharged.
Their abilities to generate power are 
based upon the chemical reaction that 
takes place inside them. This reaction is 
susceptible to the surrounding 
temperature and humidity, and, if the 
temperature is too high or too low, the 
operating time of the batteries will be 
shorter.
If you drop the batteries accidentally, 
check to see if the battery body and 
terminals are deformed.
Inserting deformed battery to the 
camera may damage the camera.
Be sure to remove the batteries after 
use.
If they are left inserted to the camera, a 
minute amount of current is consumed 
even when the camera is turned off. If 
the batteries are left inserted in the 
camera for a long time, discharge takes 
place. The batteries may become 
unusable even after they are charged.
Dispose of unusable batteries.
• The batteries have a limited life.
• Do not throw the batteries into fire 
because they may cause an explosion.
• An unusable battery should be 
discarded in accordance with battery 
recycling laws.
For information you can call the RBRC 
hotline at 1-800-822-8837.
ª Cautions for Storage
Before storing the camera, remove the 
card and the batteries.
Store all the components in a dry place 
with a relatively stable temperature.
[Recommended temperature:
59
oF to 77oF (15oC to 25oC),
Recommended humidity: 40% to 60%]
 Batteries
• Do not leave the camera and the 
batteries in a place where the 
temperature is too high, such as inside 
a car during the summer.
• Extremely high or low temperatures 
will shorten the life of the batteries.
• If the batteries are kept in smoky or 
dusty places, the terminals may rust 
and cause malfunctions.
• Do not allow the battery terminals to 
come in contact with metal objects 
(such as necklaces, hairpins, etc.). 
This can result in a short circuit or heat 
generation and, if you touch the 
battery in this condition, you may be 
badly burned.
• Store the batteries in a completely 
discharged state. To store the 
rechargeable batteries for a long 
period of time, we recommend 
charging them once every year and 
storing them again after you 
completely use up the charged 
capacity.
