POWER SUPPLY
The camera features a two-way power supply that lets you
use either batteries (AA-size alkaline or lithium) or house-
hold AC current.
To load batteries
Be sure that camera power is turned off whenever loading or
replacing batteries.
1.
Press the battery compartment
lock on the bottom of the camera
in the direction indicated by ar-
row (1), and swing open the bat-
tery compartment cover as indi-
cated by arrow (2).
2.
Insert four batteries and close the battery com-
partment cover.
Be sure to use alkaline or lithium batteries. Never use
manganese batteries (see precautions on the next
page).
• Press down on the battery compartment cover at the point
marked A in the illustration until the cover locks into place
with a click.

Battery Handling Precautions
Incorrect use or handling of batteries can cause them to leak
or burst and seriously damage your camera. Be sure to note
the following important precautions to avoid problems with
batteries.
• Remove batteries from the camera if you do not plan to use
it for more than two weeks.
• Never recharge batteries, never allow direct connection
between two ends of a battery, and never try to take batter-
ies apart.
• Do not expose batteries to direct heat or dispose of them
by burning. Doing so can create the danger of explosion.
POWER SUPPLY
• Use only LR6 (AM-3) type alkaline or FR6 type
lithium dry cell batteries with this camera.
Never mix old batteries with new ones. Failure
to do so can result in bursting or leaking of bat-
teries, creating the danger of fire or personal
injury.
• Always make sure that the positive [+] and
negative [–] ends of the batteries are facing
correctly, as noted by the markings on the
camera itself. Improper loading of batteries can
result in bursting or leaking of batteries, creat-
ing the danger of personal injury or soiling of
objects nearby.
CAUTION
• Never mix batteries of different types.
• Dead batteries are susceptible to leakage, which can
cause serious damage to your camera. Remove batteries
from the camera as soon as you notice they are dead.
• The batteries that power this camera normally become
warm when they lose power. This does not indicate mal-
function.
Low Battery Indicator
The battery capacity indicator in the lower left of the monitor
screen (shown only when image information display is
turned on) changes to “
” whenever battery power goes
low. If you continue to use the camera, a battery warning
indicator “
” will appear in the center of the monitor
screen, and then camera power will automatically turn off. If
this happens, replace all four batteries with new ones as
soon as possible.
Note that the camera may automatically shut down at a
somewhat higher level of remaining battery capacity when a
computer is connected to its DIGITAL terminal for data com-
munication. This is to protect against problems caused by
sudden power outage during data communications. Be-
cause of this, we strongly recommend that you use the op-
tionally available AC adaptor to power the camera whenever
performing data communication with a personal computer.

Auto Power Off
Power automatically turns off whenever you do not perform
any camera operation for a period of time. Power turns off
after about two minutes in the Record Mode or after about
five minutes in the Playback Mode.
• To restore power, simply slide the POWER Switch to the
right as you normally do.
IMPORTANT!
The Auto Power Off function does not operate under the
following conditions.
• During playback of a movie (page 38)
• During playback of a panorama (page 39)
• During Auto Play (page 43)
• When operations are being performed on a computer
connected to the camera via the camera’s DIGITAL
terminal. (page 66)
• Whenever the AC adaptor is connected to the camera.

• The above guidelines are based on the following battery
types:
Alkaline: MX1500 (AA) DURACELL ULTRA
Lithium: Fuji Film
• Battery life varies with brand.
“Continuous Recording” is made without use of the camera’s
flash.
Regardless of use of the camera’s flash, turning on and off
the POWER Switch, as well as other operating conditions
may affect the above values.
● Tips for Prolonging Battery Life

Standard Battery Life
This camera can be power using AA-size alkaline or lithium
batteries.
The battery life reference values given below indicate the
amount of time at standard temperature (25°C) until power
automatically turns off due to battery failure. They do not
guarantee that batteries will perform the amount of service
indicated. Battery life is reduced by low temperatures and
continued use.
