Handling Batteries

If you forget to charge your NiMH rechargeable batteries or they need to be replaced, the camera can also accept the following:

❏Rechargeable AA NiCad batteries

❏Single-use AA alkaline batteries (Energizer® brand recommended)

❏Single-use AA lithium batteries (longer life)

WARNING

To avoid the danger of fire or explosion, do not mix different types of batteries. Replace all four batteries at the same time. Do not allow the battery contacts to touch metal objects such as coins or keys, which could short out the battery’s circuits. Charge your NiMH batteries only with the EPSON NiMH battery charger (Model EU-23). Do not put in fire or water, drop or apply pressure, disassemble, short-circuit, or apply heat. Keep away from small children. If battery acid gets into your eyes or on your skin, immediately rinse the affected area well with water and seek medical treatment. If a battery is swallowed, seek medical treatment immediately.

Checking the Battery

When your battery power is almost out, the low battery icon appears on the display panel. The icon

flashes when your battery power is completely out.

To save battery power, the camera shuts off automatically after 60 seconds. It also shuts off when you take a picture with the LCD screen. To turn the camera back on, press the shutter button all the way down or close the lens cover and then open it again.

You can change the battery saving mode to have the camera remain on after you take a picture with the LCD screen. However, you’ll use up your batteries faster. You can also change the auto shut-off time period, or press the shutter button to turn the camera back on.

Flash

The camera’s built-in flash is effective within a range of

8 inches to 8 feet (20 cm to 2.4 m). Press the flash button to cycle through the three flash settings. An icon for each setting appears on the display panel as shown below:

Auto

AUTO The flash goes off automatically whenever it’s needed for adequate lighting (factory setting).

Flash Off

The flash is disabled, even when adequate lighting is not available. Use this setting for special effects, where flash photography is prohibited, or for macro mode close-ups.

Forced Flash

The flash goes off with every picture you take. Use this setting to compensate for backlighting; for example, when you are facing a light source.
