temperature and humidity, sand or dust, excessive moisture, or vibrations
(e.g. in a car).
ⅢDo not use or store the camera near a heater, cooler, or humidifier, or near
a fire, magnetic fields, or volatile materials.
ⅢDo not shake the camera or subject it to shocks.
ⅢDo not leave the camera with its lens pointing towards direct sunlight. This

BATTERY HANDLING
Ⅲ This camera uses four AA NiMH batteries, AA alkaline batteries, AA
lithium batteries or AA NiCd batteries.
Ⅲ Performance will be limited with alkaline batteries, especially in low
temperatures. NiMH batteries are recommended.
Ⅲ AA manganese batteries or a CR-V3 lithium battery pack cannot be
used.
Ⅲ Use the batteries correctly. Incorrect use can cause fluid leakage, heat
generation, or other damage. When replacing batteries, be sure to
load them correctly.
Ⅲ The batteries may be temporarily disabled when exposed to cold
temperatures. Try to keep the camera and batteries warm when using
the camera in a cold environment. Batteries that are weak in cold
temperatures will be restored under normal temperatures.
Ⅲ Sweat, oil, etc. can prevent a battery’s terminals from making
electrical contact. To avoid this, wipe both terminals before loading the
battery.
Ⅲ Keep spare batteries on hand when going on a long trip. New
batteries may be difficult or impossible to obtain abroad.
Ⅲ When using NiMH batteries or NiCd batteries, make sure to charge
them fully with the correct battery charger.
Ⅲ Read instructions carefully before handling NiMH batteries or NiCd
batteries.
Ⅲ NEVER use any battery whose body is not covered by the insulating
sheet, as it may cause a fire or injury.
Ⅲ Recommended Temperature when Using NiMH Batteries
Operation: 32 ~ 104°F, Charge: 32 ~ 104°F, Storage: -4 ~ 86°F
(Usage outside this temperature range may limit battery performance
or shorten battery life. Unload batteries from the camera when not in
use.)

The viewfinder’s picture frame shows the area that can be shot for
subjects at ∞. However, the picture area will move lower in the viewfinder
as you get closer to the subject. At 8" (0.2 m), the shaded area is the
actual available image area. In this case, the subject should be
positioned below the close-up correction marks.
