2.

Make sure the lens barrier (built-in lens

 

protection) is closed.

•Nickel-Hydrogen Battery (available in stores)

This is economical because you can recharge and discharge it, and use it over and over again. Use a charger (available in stores) for charging.

The battery may be inert and consequently it may not supply power immediately after it is purchased or left unused for more than a month. In such a case, recharge the bat- tery two or three times before use. The bat- tery self-discharges with time even if the camera is not used, so recharge it before use.

The following batteries can be used in the camera. Please choose which kind to use according to your needs.

•AA Alkaline Batteries (LR6) (included)

You can obtain them anywhere, so they are convenient for travel.

However, in a low-temperature environ- ment the number of shots you can take will decrease. Warm the batteries before use. It is recommended that you use the rechargeable battery when using the cam- era for a long time.

•Rechargeable Battery (DB-43) (sold sepa- rately)

This is a lithium-ion battery. This is eco- nomical because you can recharge it using the battery charger BJ-2 (sold separately) and use it over and over again. They last a long time, so they are convenient for travel.

•AA Nickel Batteries (available in stores)

These batteries are not rechargeable. However, they last a long time as com- pared with AA Alkaline Batteries when used with a digital camera.
