■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 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

INTRODUCTION
19
Lens
•Never apply too much force when cleaning the surface of
the lens. Doing so can scratch the lens surface and cause
malfunction.
•Fingerprints, dust, or any other soiling of the lens can
interfere with proper image recording. Never touch the
lens with your fingers. You can remove dust particles
from the lens surface by using a lens blower to blow them
off. Next, wipe the surface of the lens with a soft lens
cloth.
Condensation
•When you bring the camera indoors on a cold day or
otherwise expose it to a sudden change of temperature,
there is the possibility that condensation can form on the
