Insert the Batteries
First Steps
B Replacing Batteries
Turn the camera off and make sure that the power-on lamp and the monitor have gone out before
opening the battery-chamber cover.
B Additional Precautions Regarding Batteries
• Read and follow the warnings and cautions (Aiii, 97).
• Do not combine old and new batteries or batteries of different makes or types.
• Batteries with the following defects cannot be used:
B Battery Type
To improve battery performance, select the type of battery currently inserted in the camera in the
setup menu. The default setting is [Lithium]. When any other type of battery is used, turn the camera
on and change the setting (A91).
C Alkaline Batteries
Performance of alkaline batteries may vary greatly depending on the manufacturer. Choose a
reliable brand.
C Alternative Power Resources
To power the camera continuously for extended periods, use an EH-65A AC adapter (available
separately) (A94). Do not, under any circumstances, use another make or model of AC
adapter. Failure to observe this precaution could result in overheating or in damage to the camera.
D Power Saving Function in Shooting Mode
The camera adjusts monitor brightness according to the brightness of the surroundings to save
power.
When no operations are performed for five seconds, the monitor dims.
If no operations are performed for fifteen seconds, the monitor turns off and the power-on lamp
blinks. If no operations are performed for another fifteen seconds, the camera enters standby mode.
To reactivate the camera in this step, press the shutter-release button halfway.
If no operations are performed in standby mode for another three minutes, the camera turns off. The
amount of time allowed to pass before the camera enters standby mode can be specified from the
auto off menu (A86).
