2.Make sure the lens barrier (built-in lens protection) is closed.

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- 1 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 separately)

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.

•Nickel-Hydrogen Battery (available in stores)

This battery is economical because you can recharge and use it over and over again. Please use a battery recharger available in stores.
