Connecting to a Power Source
There are two ways in which to provide the camera with power. You can use batteries or
alternatively, you can use an AC(100 ~ 250V) Adapter (DC 3.3V 2.0A).
We recommend using batteries for a digital camera.(Within a year from the date of
manufacture) The batteries are listed below.
Non rechargeable batteries : AA type – Alkaline, Ni-Mn, Ni-Zn, Lithium
CR-V3 type – Lithium
Rechargeable batteries : AA type – Ni-MH, Ni-Cd (over 1000mA)
CR-V3 type – Digimax Battery I-Pack(SBP-1303)
Important information about battery usage
It is easy to buy alkaline batteries. However, the duration for using batteries varies in
accordance with the battery manufacturer or the photographic conditions.
When the camera is not used, turn off the camera power.
Do not recharge the non rechargeable batteries. It may cause an explosion.
Please remove the batteries if the camera will not be used for long periods.
Batteries can lose power over time and are prone to leaking if kept inside the camera.
We recommend high capacity ALKALINE batteries as manganese batteries cannot
deliver sufficient power.
Low temperatures (below 0 ) can affect the performance of the batteries and you may
experience reduced battery life.
Batteries will usually recover at normal temperatures.
Do not use old and new batteries at the same time.
During extended use of the camera, the camera body may become warm.
This is perfectly normal.
INFORMATION
If you have access to a mains supply, using an AC Adapter
(3.3V 2.0A) allows the camera to be used for long periods of
time. Plug the adapter into the connection point (DC IN 3.3V)
on the camera. Remove the batteries from the camera when
using an AC adapter.
