Chapter 1: Getting Started 17
NOTE Digital cameras use batteries at a much faster rate than
film cameras. Battery life in digital cameras can be
measured in hours and minutes of use rather than the
years more typical of film cameras. Battery life may also
vary dramatically from one user to another, depending on
what modes the camera is being used in most frequently.
For hints on optimizing battery performance, see
Appendix A: Managing Batteries on page 151.
Turning on Power
Turn the camera on by sliding the ON/OFF switch to the
right and then releasing it.
The lens extends and the Power light on the top of the camera
turns on solid green.
Choosing the Language
The first time you turn the camera on, the following screen
appears and prompts you to choose a language.
1 Scroll to the language that you
want by using the
buttons on the Controller .
2 Press the Menu/OK button to
select the highlighted language.
NOTE If you need to change the
language later, you can do this
with the Language setting in the Setup menu. See Chapter
