•
Never expose the batteries to excessive heat such as sunlight,
fire or similar.
•
If the device is not going to be used for a long period, remove
the batteries.
•
If the battery is leaking, remove it from the camera immediate-
ly. Before inserting a new battery, clean the contacts. There is a
risk of skin irritations from battery acid!
•
Remove flat batteries from the camera.
•
At low temperatures the capacity of the battery can drop sig-
nificantly due to the reduced speed of the chemical reactions.
When shooting in cold weather, keep a second battery pack in
reserve in a warm place (e.g. trouser pocket).
