Powering and maintaining your camera 51
Replacing batteries
The camera uses four AA batteries. You can use photo-lithium or
photo-quality alkaline AA batteries, or rechargeable NiMH AA
batteries. You can purchase additional batteries from your local
camera or electronics store.
Note If you choose to use rechargeable batteries, you
must recharge them in a separate device, outside
the camera. The batteries do not recharge in the
camera when you connect an AC adapter.
To insert new batteries:
1 Make sure the camera is turned off.
2 To open the battery
compartment, slide the
battery compartment cover in
the direction of the arrow,
and then lift it.
3 Insert four new batteries,
making sure the

CAUTION
Replace all the batteries at the same time. Do not
replace the batteries individually or use batteries of
different types. Always follow the instructions on the
battery package when handling or disposing of
batteries.
