Replacing batteries

The camera uses four AA batteries. You can use photo-lithium or photo-quality alkaline AA batteries, or rechargeable NiMH AA batteries. You can purchase additional batteries from your local camera or electronics store.

Note

If you choose to use rechargeable batteries, you

 

must recharge them in a separate device, outside

 

the camera. The batteries do not recharge in the

 

camera when you connect an AC adapter.

 

 

To insert new batteries:

1Make sure the camera is turned off.

2To open the battery

compartment, slide the battery compartment cover in the direction of the arrow, and then lift it.

3 Insert four new batteries, making sure the + / electrodes are facing the proper direction (see the diagram inside the battery compartment).

4Close the battery compartment cover by sliding it into place and then clicking it shut.

CAUTION Replace all the batteries at the same time. Do not replace the batteries individually or use batteries of different types. Always follow the instructions on the battery package when handling or disposing of batteries.
