Inserting the Batteries

Insert batteries into the camera. Use two CR-V3 or four AA Ni-MH batteries, AA lithium batteries, or AA alkaline batteries.

This camera is packaged with AA alkaline batteries for checking the camera’s functionality but some other kinds of batteries are also compatible. Refer to “Batteries” (p.26) for details on compatible batteries and when to use them.

• CR-V3, AA lithium batteries and AA alkaline batteries are not rechargeable.

•Do not open the battery cover or remove the batteries while the power is on.

•Remove the batteries when you will not use the camera for a long while. The batteries may leak.

•If the date and time settings have been reset when you insert new batteries after a long while, follow the procedure for “Setting the Date and Time”. (p.35)

•Insert batteries correctly. Batteries inserted incorrectly may cause a camera breakdown. Wipe the electrodes of the batteries before inserting.

•Replace all the batteries at the same time. Do not mix battery type, brands or an old battery with a new one.
