Inserting Batteries
Preparation for Shooting
j Replacing Batteries
Turn the camera off and make sure that the power-on lamp and the monitor have gone out
before removing or inserting batteries.
j Additional Precautions Regarding Batteries
• Read and follow the warnings and cautions on pages iii-iv and 109 of this manual.
• Do not combine old and new batteries or batteries of different makes or types.
• Batteries with the following defects cannot be used:
j 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 (c 105).
k Alkaline Batteries
Performance of alkaline batteries may vary greatly depending on the manufacturer. Choose a
reliable brand.
k Alternative Power Resources
To power the camera continuously for extended periods, use an EH-65A AC adapter kit
(c 106). 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.
k 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 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, press the shutter-release button
halfway. If no operations are performed in standby mode for another three minutes, the cam-
era turns off.
The amount of time allowed to pass before the camera enters standby mode can be specified
from the auto off menu (c 100).
