Replacing Batteries
Turn the camera off and make sure that the power-on lamp has gone out before removing or in-
serting batteries.
Read Battery Warnings
Read and follow all warnings and instructions supplied by the battery manufacturer.
Damaged Batteries
The following batteries can not be used:
• Batteries with peeling or damaged insulation. Using batter-
ies with damaged insulation could result in leakage, over-
heating, or rupture. Note that due to manufacturing
defects even new batteries may have faulty insulation.
• Batteries with insulation that covers only the sides of the
battery and not the area around the negative terminal.
• Batteries with a flat negative terminal. Do not use such bat-
teries even if the insulation adequately covers the area
around the negative terminal.
Alkaline Batteries
Performance of alkaline batteries may vary greatly depending on the manufacturer. Choose a reli-
able brand.
EN-MH1 Batteries
Using an MH-71 battery charger, charge EN-MH1 batteries before first use. Charge each pair of
batteries at the same time — do not charge batteries one at a time or mix batteries with different
charges. Note that EN-MH1 batteries may discharge quickly immediately after purchase or after the
batteries have been left unused for an extended period. This is normal, and the batteries will retain
a charge for longer periods after being used and recharged several times. For more information on
charging batteries, see the documentation provided with the MH-71.
Alternative Power Sources
• To power the camera continuously for extended periods, use an EH-62B AC adapter (
Q
97).
Do not, under any circumstances, use another make or model of AC adapter.
Failure to observe this precaution could result in overheating or in damage to the camera.
• We recommend that you buy CR-V3 lithium batteries as a back-up power source.
