jBattery Type

To improve battery performance, select the type of battery currently inserted in the camera in the setup menu. The default setting is the type of battery supplied with purchase. If your cam- era was purchased in Europe and alkaline batteries were supplied, change the setting to [Alkaline]. When any other type of battery is used, turn the camera on and change the setting (c 106).

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 (c 107). 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

If no operations are performed for about five seconds, the monitor will dim to save power. Using any of the camera controls will reactivate the display. The monitor turns off and the power-on lamp blinks if no operations are performed for fifteen seconds.

If no operations are performed for another fifteen seconds, the camera enters standby mode. After a further three minutes, the camera will turn off automatically (c 101).
