kAlkaline Batteries

Performance of alkaline batteries may vary greatly depending on the manufacturer. Choose a reliable brand.

kAlternative Power Resources

To power the camera continuously for extended periods, use an EH-65A AC adapter kit (c 106). 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.

kPower Saving Function in Shooting Mode

The camera adjusts monitor brightness according to the brightness of the surroundings to save power. When no operations are performed for fifteen seconds, the monitor turns off and the power-on lamp blinks. If no operations are performed for another fifteen seconds, the camera enters standby mode. To reactivate the camera, press the shutter-release button halfway. If no operations are performed in standby mode for another three minutes, the camera turns off.

The amount of time allowed to pass before the camera enters standby mode can be specified from the auto off menu (c 100).
