Batteries do not last long in camera

Last Updated : 26-Aug-2009
Issue Number : 8200569200

Solution

Battery performance decreases at low temperatures. Warm the batteries by, for example, placing them in your pocket, taking care that the terminals do not come into contact with any metal objects.
If the battery terminals have become dirty, battery performance may be weak. Clean the terminals with a cotton swab and re-insert the batteries several times.

Cleaning the camera's and battery terminals

Confirm that you are using the correct battery type.

If the batteries are consumed quickly at normal temperatures (23 deg C), the battery life might have been exceeded. Please replace the batteries with new ones.

CAUTION

When you warm the batteries in your pocket, please do not put them together with metal objects such as key chains. The batteries might short-circuit.
Please do not short-circuit the plus (+) side and the minus (-) side of the batteries with metal objects such as key chains.
