Power Requirements
Your camera features a two-way power supply that lets you
use either AA-size batteries or household AC current. A set
of AA-size rechargeable nickel-metal hydride batteries is
supplied with the camera. The other items listed below are
available separately.
■ Batteries
• Two AA-size rechargeable nickel-metal hydride batteries
:
HR-3U (Rated Capacitance 2100 mAh) (bundled)
HR-3U (Rated Capacitance 2300 mAh)
• Two AA-size lithium batteries: FR6
• Two AA-size alkaline batteries: LR6
• Proper operation cannot be guaranteed if you use any
other type of battery other than that noted above.
• When being powered by AA-size alkaline batteries (LR6),
the camera may not operate at all at temperatures of 5°C
(41°F) or lower.
The batteries are not charged when you purchase the
camera. You need to charge batteries before using the
camera for the first time.
■ Household Current
• AC Adaptor: AD-C30
Charging Batteries
You can use the steps below to charge the rechargeable
nickel-metal hydride batteries (HR-3U) using the charger
unit (BC-5H) that comes with the camera.
Never try to use the charger unit to charge any other
type of batteries besides the specified rechargeable
nickel-metal hydride batteries (HR-3U). Attempting to
use it to charge dry cells or other types of rechargeable
batteries creates the risk of battery leakage,
overheating, and explosion.
