INSTALLING BATTERIES
This digital camera uses two AA-size alkaline or Ni-MH batteries or one CR-V3 lithium
battery. Do not use other types of AA-size batteries. When using Ni-MH batteries, fully
recharge them with a battery charger suitable for complex electronic equipment. Before
using the batteries, read the safety warnings on page 3 of this manual.
When replacing the batteries, the camera should be turned off.

When using Ni-MH batteries, clean both battery terminals with dry cloth to wipe off any dirt or
residue. Because of the sophisticated computer system, the camera critically monitor power lev-
els. If the battery terminals are dirty, the camera may give a false battery-condition warning. If bat-
tery performance is unusually low, wipe the battery terminals with a clean, dry cloth.
Ni-MH battery performance will decrease if the batteries are often recharged before they have
been fully discharged. Completely exhaust the Ni-MH batteries using the camera before charg-
ing.

The camera will reset if the batteries are removed for an
extended period. An internal battery protects the clock,
calendar, and camera settings for about 7 days if the
camera is used for at least two days before the batteries
are removed.
