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

Remove the batteries when you do not plan to use the camera for a long time. If you leave them in the camera for a long time, they may leak.

If the date and time settings have been reset when you insert new batteries after a long time has passed since the batteries were removed, follow the procedure for “Setting the Date and Time” (p.56).
