GETTING UP AND RUNNING
INSERTING THE BATTERIES
This digital camera uses two AA-size alkaline batteries or NI-MH batteries. AA-
size NI-MH batteries are recommended because of longer life. Performance
varies with the brand of battery. When using NI-MH batteries, fully recharge
them with a battery charger suitable for complex electronic equipment. Please
consult your vendor about an appropriate charger. Before using the battery,
read the safety warnings on pages 3 and 6 of this manual. When replacing the
battery, the camera should be turned off.
Slide the battery-chamber door toward the front of the camera to release the
safety catch (1). Open the door.
Insert the AA batteries as shown; make sure the positive
and negative battery terminals are oriented correctly
(2).
Close the battery-chamber door and slide it toward the
back of the camera to engage the safety catch.
After installing the battery, the set-time/date
message may appear on the monitor. The clock
and calendar is set in the section 3 of the setup
menu (p. 20). An internal battery protects the
clock, calender, and memory settings for
approximately 1 hour if the battery has been
fully charged before being removed.
Carbon-zinc, nickel zinc battery and AA lithium
battery can not be used for this camera.
