In some cases, alkaline batteriesmay have a shorter service life than NiMH. Alkaline battery performance is limited, especially atlow temperatures. The use of NiMH batteries is recommended.• AA manganese (Zinc-Carbon) batteries cannot be used with this camera.• When operating the camera with battery power at low temperatures, try to keep the camera andspare batteries as warm as possible. Batteries which run down at low temperatures may berestored after they are warmed at room temperature.• Recommended temperature ranges for NiMH batteries:Operation .................0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F)Charge .....................0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F)Storage.....................-20°C to 30°C (-4°F to 86°F)• Using, charging, or storing the batteries outside these ranges could shorten battery life or affectbattery performance.

This is not a malfunction; it will be less noticeable in playback mode.• In places subject to low temperatures, the LCD monitor may take a long time to turn on or its colormay change temporarily. When using the camera in extremely cold places, it is a good idea tooccasionally place it in a warm place. An LCD monitor exhibiting poor performance due to lowtemperatures will recover in normal temperatures.• The LCD used for the monitor is made with high-precision technology. However, black spots orbright spots of light may appear constantly on the LCD Monitor. Due to its characteristics or theangle at which you are viewing the monitor, the spot may not be uniform in color and brightness.This is not a malfunction.Caution for Usage EnvironmentBattery Handling PrecautionsLCD Monitor
