IMPORTANT!
•Be sure to keep the strap around your wrist when
using the camera to protect against accidentally
dropping it.
•The supplied strap is intended for use with this
camera only. Do not use it for any other purpose.
•Never swing the camera around by the strap.
Power Requirements
Your camera features a two-way power supply that lets you
use either AA-size batteries or household AC current. A set
of AA-size rechargeable nickel-metal hydride batteries is
supplied with the camera. The other items listed below are
available separately.

■Batteries

•Two AA-size rechargeable
nickel-metal hydride batteries: HR-3UA
•Proper operation cannot be guaranteed if you use any
other type of battery other than that noted above.
The batteries are not charged when you purchase the
camera. You need to charge batteries before using the
camera for the first time (page 33).
•Two AA-size lithium batteries: FR6
•AA-size alkaline batteries (LR6) can be used if they are
the only option available to you. Note, however, that
alkaline batteries provide about five minutes or so of
camera operation. Alkaline batteries may not provide any
operation when the temperature is 5˚C (41˚F) or lower.
