• Battery performance temporarily decreases as the temperature decreases.
When using the camera in cold climates, have extra batteries on hand,
keeping them warm in your pocket. Battery performance will return to normal
when returned to room temperature.
• AA alkaline batteries may not adequately handle all the camera functions. We
do not recommend their use except in emergencies.
• When traveling overseas, taking pictures in cold climates, or when you will be
taking a lot of pictures, please have extra batteries ready.
• For image storage capacity when using the Battery Grip D-BG1, see p.146.
