If you will not be using the camera for a long time, remove the batteries.

When new batteries or fully charged Ni-MH batteries have been inserted for more than 3 hours, the clock setting is stored (in the camera) for at least

3 months even if the batteries are removed. (The storing time may be shorter if the batteries are not charged sufficiently.)

If more than 3 months has passed, the clock setting will be lost. In this case, set the clock again. (P23)

Do not remove the card and the batteries during an access. The data on the built-in memory or the card may be damaged. (P21)

Remove the batteries after the LCD monitor and the status indicator (green) are turned off. Otherwise, the settings on the camera may not be stored properly.
