I Battery Life
� The battery lives noted in the User�s Guide are approximate values until power fails, based on use of batteries of recommended brands at normal temperature (23°C (73°F)), and do not guarantee you will be able to achieve operation for the life noted. Actual battery life is greatly affected by the battery brand, battery production date, and ambient temperature. � Leaving the camera on can run down batteries and cause the low battery warning to appear. Turn off the camera whenever you are not using it. � Sometimes, the camera may shutdown after the low battery warning appears. If this happens, immediately replace both of the batteries. Leaving low or dead batteries in the camera can lead to battery leakage and data corruption. � Though you could use alkaline batteries when there are no other types of batteries available, note that the life of alkaline batteries will be very short. Use of rechargeable nickel-metal hydride batteries or lithium batteries is recommended.
