Common Sense Camera Care and Practice 

1. The sealed, new battery which is supplied 

with this camera may have been subject to 
storage conditions which have reduced its 
service life. Therefore it is desirable to 
replace it with a fresh battery as soon as 
possible. 

2. Carefully wipe the battery contacts before 

inserting into the chamber. Failure to do so 
may result in poor electrical contact and 
consequent malfunctioning of the camera. 

3. Always remove battery when camera is not 

used for a while. Always carry spare batteries. 

4. Battery life differs, depending on type, age, 

storage condition, ambient temperature, 
frequency of use etc. 

5. Be sure to match the poles of the battery with 

those shown in the diagram in the chamber. 

6 Always keep batteries out of the reach of 

children and never throw used batteries into a 
fire or expose to excessive heat. 

7. When going on trips be sure to carry spare 

batteries to ensure that the camera will 
function. Also, as batteries tend to temporarily 
malfunction at temperatures below freezing, 
when photographing in extremely cold 
climates, carry the External Battery Case. 

8. When you carry spare batteries, leave them in 

the original factory packaging. If they are 
"unpackaged", be sure to wrap them carefully 
in order to prevent them touching each other 
or any metal objects which can cause them to 
short circuit and become useless.
