First Steps: Putting Batteries in Your Camera
Cautions
Batteries may leak or explode if improperly handled. Observe the follow-
ing precautions when handling batteries for use in this camera.
Turn the selector dial to OFF before replacing the batteries. If you are
using the AC adapter, be sure to unplug the camera.
Use only 1.5V AA (LR6) batteries. Alkaline batteries are
recommended, but nickel-cadmium (NiCd), nickel metal-hydride
(NiMH), and lithium batteries may also be used. Note however that the
battery indicator may not function properly with these types. Because
of their short life-span, the use of manganese batteries is not
recommended. Using other types of battery could cause fire.
Be sure that the batteries are aligned as shown in the illustration
opposite.
Replace all batteries at the same time using only one type of battery. Do
not mix batteries of different types or use old batteries together with new.
Do not attempt to recharge, short, or disassemble the batteries.
Do not expose the batteries to flame or to excessive heat or moisture.
Batteries are prone to leakage when fully discharged. To avoid damage
to the camera, be sure to remove the batteries when no charge remains.
When the camera is used continuously for a long time on battery power,
the batteries may become hot. When removing the batteries, due
caution should be observed to prevent burns.
Note: The camera’s clock-calendar is powered by a separate rechargable
battery. When you put batteries in your camera for the first time or after a
long period of storage, wait a few hours for the clock battery to recharge
before removing the main batteries. Once the clock battery has charged,
removing the batteries will not affect the clock-calendar.
Note: Photographs stored on the flash memory card are not affected
when the batteries are removed. All manual-mode settings, with the
exceptions of the date and language, will however be reset.
