Using your batteries

For best performance and prolonged battery life, we recommend the use of AA lithium or rechargeable Ni-MH 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 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.
