Batteries and power

The batteries run down too quickly.

•You are using the camera in an extremely cold location.

•The batteries are dead. Replace them with new ones.

•When using the Nickel-Metal Hydride batteries (not supplied), charge them sufficiently.

•When using alkaline batteries/Oxy Nickel Primary Battery (not supplied), the displayed time remaining may not be correctly indicated.

The power turns off suddenly.

•If you do not operate the camera for about three minutes while the power is on, the camera turns off automatically to prevent wearing down the batteries. Turn on the camera again.

Camera power is turned off automatically when you open the battery/“Memory Stick Duo” cover.

•This is not a malfunction. Turn off the camera before you open the battery/“Memory Stick Duo” cover.
