What kind of batteries should I use?
Caution: Never open your camera’s battery compartment door to remove the batteries while the camera is still on. This could damage your camera.
•Use only
•Never mix old batteries with new batteries, different types of batteries, or batteries from different manufacturers.
•Do not expose batteries to direct heat or dispose of them by burning. Dispose of batteries according to local laws and regulations.
•Remove batteries from the camera if you are not going to use it for an extended period of time.
•Remove dead batteries from the camera. Dead batteries may leak and cause significant damage to your camera.
•If you are using rechargeable batteries, using the AC adapter will not recharge them. For more information about how to recharge the batteries, see the instructions provided by the battery manufacturer.
Note: Camera damage caused by misuse of batteries is not covered under your camera’s Warranty.
When should I use the AC adapter?
Caution: Never insert or remove an AC power adapter while the camera is on. This could damage your camera.
If your digital camera comes with an AC power adapter, use it whenever possible to maximize the life of your camera batteries. For example, always use the AC adapter when transferring photos into your computer. Here are some additional guidelines for using the AC adapter:
•Use only the AC adapter that came with your camera. Using a different AC adapter may damage your camera.
•Turn the camera power off before connecting or disconnecting the AC adapter.
•Grasp the plug, not the cord, when you unplug the adapter from an outlet. Avoid bending, pulling, or twisting the AC adapter cord. Do not try to lengthen the cord by splicing it to another wire.
•Replace a damaged power cord with a new one (to avoid electrical shock).
