First Steps

Removing the Battery from the Camera

Turn the camera off ( 12) before removing or inserting batteries. To eject the battery, slide the battery latch in the direction shown. The battery can then be removed by hand. Note that the battery may become hot during use; observe due caution when removing the battery.

EN-EL8 Batteries

Before using the EN-EL8, read and follow the warnings and cautions on pages ii–iii and 85 of this manual.

The EH-63 AC Adapter

The supplied EH-63 AC adapter can also be connected di- rectly to the camera as shown at right. Whether connected directly to the camera or to the MV-12 COOL-STATION, the EH-63 can be used to power the camera or to charge the bat- tery. Do not, under any circumstances, use another make or model of AC adapter. Failure to observe this precaution could result in overheating or in damage to the camera.

When connecting the adapter, be sure the DC plug is in the correct orientation. Inserting the plug upside down could damage the camera or COOL-STATION.

After disconnecting the camera from the AC adapter, make sure that the multi connec- tor cover is tightly closed.
