In this situation,use new batteries and protect the camera body from the cold.Note that battery power will be recovered as soon as thetemperature becomes normal.When not using the camera for a long period of time, take thebatteries out and store them in a cool (below 20°C), dry place.Should the batteries be left in the battery chamber for a longperiod of time, insufficient contact may occur due to batterycontamination. Thus, it is good practice to periodically cleanthe batteries and the contact section in the battery chamberwith a soft cloth. If the battery chamber is stained by aleaking battery, remove the batteries at once and clean thechamber.Never mix new and old batteries or batteries of differentmakes.Always check battery power before every shooting session.
