IMPORTANT!

•Use only the special NP-30 rechargeable lithium ion battery to power this camera. Use of any other type of battery is not supported.

NOTE

•To remove the battery from the camera, open the bat- tery cover and hold the stopper so it does not stop the battery. Taking care to keep the battery from suddenly falling, angle the bottom of the camera downwards until the battery starts to come out. Next, pull the bat- tery out the rest of the way.
