• If the battery is leaking, remove it from the
camera immediately. Before inserting a new
battery, clean the contacts. There is a risk of
skin irritations from battery acid!
• Remove a flat battery from the camera.
• At low temperatures the capacity of the bat-
tery might drop significantly as the chemical
reactions slow down. When recording in cold
weather keep a second battery pack in reserve
in a warm place (e.g. trouser pocket).
• Avoid knocks or impacts that can affect the
battery; do not crush or drop the battery.
