    Solution

      There are the following possible causes in cases where batteries are consumed more quickly than usual.

      At low temperatures, the battery performance may diminish. The low battery charge icon () may appear on the camera's LCD screen earlier than usual.
      If you use the camera at low temperatures, the battery performance can be improved by warming the batteries in a pocket immediately before use.

      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.
      • When you are carrying the batteries or if they are not in use, please make sure to attach the terminal cover.
