INSTALLING AND CHANGING THE BATTERY

This digital camera uses one NP-400 lithium-ion battery. Before using the battery, read the safety warnings on pages 4 of this manual. When replacing batteries, the camera should be off.

Open the battery-chamber door by sliding the battery- chamber release toward the back of the camera.

Insert the battery with the battery contacts first. Push the battery into the chamber until the battery latch clicks into place.

To remove a battery, slide the battery latch to the side of the battery chamber; the battery will spring out.

Close the battery-chamber door until it clicks shut.

BATTERY CONDITION INDICATOR

This camera is equipped with an automatic battery-condition indicator. When the camera is on, the indicator appears on the monitor. The indicator changes from white to red when battery power is low. If the monitor is blank, the battery may be exhausted.

Full-battery indicator - the battery is fully charged.

Low-battery indicator - battery power is low. Recharge the battery.

Low-battery warning - battery power is very low. Recharge the battery.

When power falls below the level of the low-battery warning, the battery exhausted message appears just before the camera shuts down. The camera will not function until the batteries are recharged.

AUTO POWER SAVE

To conserve battery power, the camera shuts down if an operation is not made within three minutes. To restore power, press the shutter-release button partway down. The length of the auto-power-save period can be changed in section 3 of the setup menu (p. 102).

The LCD monitor backlight turns off after five seconds. Press a camera button to restore the display. The length of this period can be changed in section 3 of the setup menu (p. 102).

System Accessories

This camera can be powered directly from a household electrical outlet with the optional AC Adapter AC-11. See page 114 on how to connect the adapter to the camera. Contact your local Konica Minolta dealer for more information.
