    * Extreme cold (below 0'C) can cause battery per-
       formance to deteriorate, and the battery mark to flash
       on the LCD Panel. Under such conditions, warm the
        battery in your pocket or alternate multiple batteries,
       keeping one warm when  it is not loaded in the cam-
         era. A cold battery will recover its performance once
               it is returned to normal temperature.

    FILM PRECAUTIONS
    * Use up all the film in a roll and have it processed
        within a reasonable amount of time. Leaving film in
        the camera for a long time can cause discoloration.
    * Even placed inside a camera, the film will not be
         x-ray protected.Therefore,  notify the inspector at the
         airoort that there is film in the camera and avoid ex-
       posing the camera to x-ray.
