Managing batteries
When the batteries are removed from the camera, the date and 
time settings are preserved for approximately ten minutes. If the 
camera is without batteries for longer than ten minutes, the 
clock is set to the last time and date at which it stopped. You 
might be prompted to update the date and time.
NOTE If you do not intend to use the camera for extended 
periods of time (more than a month), we strongly 
recommend that you remove the batteries from the 
camera.
The following battery levels are visible on the image display.
The camera uses four AA batteries. Acceptable batteries
