* The battery life varies according to flash usage and other factors.
* Results may vary according to the type and brand of battery.
Note:
• Whenever you do not have access to an electrical outlet, always carry four extra batteries.
• The battery symbol (
) appears on the LCD monitor to indicate that the batteries are weak or
depleted. Replace the batteries.
For rechargeable Nickel Cadmium or nickel-metal-hydride batteries, the time between light-
ing of the battery symbol and complete depletion of the batteries is shorter than when alka-
line batteries are used. The batteries run out quickly after the symbol lights.
Safety Precautions
• Do not use damaged batteries or batteries that are almost depleted.
• Do not subject the batteries to strong impact.
Inserting a Lithium Battery
The lithium battery (CR2025) maintains the set date and time. Insert the lithium battery
before starting to operate the camera.

Caution
• To prevent fire and shock, do not use metal objects, such as twee-

After closing the LCD monitor, use a ball
point pen to move the battery compart-
