affect the number of pictures that can be taken. Therefore, to maximize their performance and
lifetime, we recommend that you fully charge the batteries and discharge them for at least one
complete cycle before use.
„The battery may feel warm when using the camera for an extended period of time or using the flash
continuously. This is normal and not a malfunction.
