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.
• Use only LR6 (AM-3) type alkaline
dry cell batteries with this camera.
Never mix old batteries with new
ones. Failure to do so can result in
bursting or leaking of batteries, creat-
ing the danger of fire or personal in-
jury.
• Always make sure that the positive +
and negative - ends of the batteries
are facing correctly, as noted by the
markings on the camera itself. Im-
proper loading of batteries can result
in bursting or leaking of batteries, cre-
ating the danger of personal injury or
soiling of objects nearby.

• 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 batteries apart.
• Do not expose batteries to direct heat or dispose of them by burn-
ing. Doing so can create the danger of explosion.
• 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 malfunction.

Low Battery Indicator
A low battery indicator ( ) appears on the LCD whenever remain-
ing battery power drops below a certain level.
When this indicator appears, replace all four batteries with a fresh set
of new ones. Once the low battery indicator appears, you can expect
only about 10 more minutes of operation before total power failure.
Flash Memory
The camera features flash memory for storage of images. Flash
memory does not require electrical power to store data, so image
data is retained in memory even when you turn camera power off. If
batteries go dead, simply load a set of new batteries or connect the
AC adaptor and you will be able to view images in camera memory.
