Notes on using alkaline batteries

•Alkaline batteries have a shorter life compared to the supplied Nickel-Metal Hydride batteries. For this reason, the power may turn off even though the battery remaining indicator shows sufficient battery life remaining.

•Battery performance differs greatly depending on the manufacturer and the type of battery, and in some cases the battery life may be extremely short. This is especially true at low temperatures, and you may not be able to shoot at temperatures below 5°C (41°F).

•Do not mix new and old batteries.

•The battery remaining indicator does not display the correct information when using alkaline batteries.

•Due to the characteristics of alkaline batteries, there is a large difference between the available shooting time and the available playback time. For this reason, the camera may turn off with the lens portion extended when you switch the mode dial. In this case, replace the batteries with new ones or fully charged Nickel-Metal Hydride batteries.

We recommend using the supplied Nickel-Metal Hydride batteries.

started Getting

,Insert Nickel-Metal Hydride batteries into the battery charger (supplied) with the correct polarity +/–.

•You cannot charge alkaline batteries using the battery charger.

•Be sure to charge the Nickel-Metal Hydride batteries supplied with your camera before using them.

•Connect the battery charger to an easily accessible wall outlet (wall socket) close by.

•Even if the CHARGE lamp is not lit, the battery charger is not disconnected from the AC power source (mains) as long as it is connected to the wall outlet (wall socket). If some trouble occurs while using the battery charger, immediately shut off the power by disconnecting the plug from the wall outlet (wall socket).
