NOTE The camera may get warm while it is charging the
battery, as well as after prolonged use under battery
power. This is normal.
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 163.

Turn the camera on by sliding the ON/OFF switch to the

The lens extends and the Power/Memory light on the back of
