Disclaimer
We assume no responsibility over and above the provisions of the Product Liability Law for
damages suffered by the user or third parties as a result of inappropriate handling of the
product or its accessories, or by their operational failure and by their use. We reserve the right
to make changes to this product and its accessories without prior notice.
Warning! Never try to open the camera or to take it apart. This will invalidate all guarantee
claims.
Using your batteries
For best performance and prolonged battery life, we recommend the use of AA lithium or
rechargeable NiMH batteries.
Extending battery life
The following functions use up a great deal of battery power and should therefore only be
used occasionally:
• Excessive use of flash
• Editing images on the camera display
• Using the camera display as a view finder
The battery life can be affected by soiling. Please clean the contacts with a clean and dry
cloth before putting the batteries in the camera.
Battery performance drops at temperatures below 5 °C (41 °F). If you use the camera at low
temperatures you should have replacement batteries to hand and ensure they do not get too
cold. Please note: you should not dispose of cold and seemingly flat batteries because these
batteries may work again at room temperature
