Cleaning the battery contacts
As a matter of routine operation and handling, should any debris or foreign contaminant deposit itself
on the battery contacts in the camera and/or on the batteries, follow steps below to clean the battery
contacts to ensure proper electrical operation:
1. Wet the tip of a cotton bud/swab with rubbing alcohol and squeeze the excess alcohol from the
bud/swab.
2. Wipe the battery contacts inside the camera battery compartment and both ends of the batteries
lightly with the damp bud.
3. Allow the contacts to dry before placing batteries in the camera.
Caution:
