Removing the Battery

The battery can be removed without affecting pic- tures on the memory card. Before removing the battery, turn the camera off. Remove the battery by hand, holding it between your finger and thumb as shown at right. Do not use your fingernails.

The Clock Battery

The camera’s internal clock-calendar is powered by a separate, rechargeable power source, which is charged as necessary when the main battery is in- stalled. If the camera has been stored for an extended period with the main battery removed, the clock may need to be reset. The clock power source can provide several days of back-up power after charging for about ten hours.
