2. Insert two batteries into the battery holder according
to polarity diagram shown on the holder. Then replace
the holder in the battery compartment and firmly
secure the compartment cover. If the battery polarities
are inserted incorrectly, the camera will not operate.
3. Set the shutter selector to "AUTO" (or X, B), and
while looking into the viewfinder, press the shutter
release lightly to check that the viewfinder LEDs light
steadily or flash.
<Battery Check>
Battery condition is indicated by the LED display inside the viewfinder. When batteries are good, the LEDS
will light steadily, or flash at regular intervals. When batteries are weak, the camera will warn you of this
condition by changing to the flashing LED display shown in the diagram shown below. The camera will
continue to operate for a period in this condition, but you should replace the batteries with new ones as soon a
possible. When battery power falls below rated voltage, the LEDs will not light, and the camera will not
operate. The LED display will remain lit for about 10 seconds after you release your finger from the shutter
release button.

<Battery Precautions>
* Battery life is approximately 1 year with silver-oxide batteries, and about 6 months with alkaline - manganese
batteries, but this may vary depending on frequency of camera use, the strength of batteries at time of purchase,
ambient temperature, etc.
* Batteries are apt to perform poorly in sub-zero temperatures, causing picture taking difficulties and LED
failure. Keep the camera as warm as possible and carry extra batteries just in case those in the camera should
fail. Batteries affected by such extreme temperatures will recover power after being kept warm for a while.
* When installing batteries, wipe the cell cap and base clean. Oily residue on battery terminals could cause poor
electrical contact.
