First Steps
Inserting the Batteries
The camera uses two AA batteries. Depending on the country or region of
purchase, the package will include either alkaline batteries or an MH-71 bat-
tery charger with rechargeable EN-MH1-B2 batteries.
1
Charge the batteries (EN-MH1-B2 batteries only)
If the camera came with a battery charger and rechargeable Nikon EN-MH1-B2
NiMH batteries, charge the batteries as described below. If the camera came
with a pair of alkaline batteries, skip to Step 2 on the following page.
Batteries
Read and follow the warnings and cautions on pages ii–iii and 84 of this
manual. The camera can be used with AA alkaline (LR6) batteries, Nikon rechargeable
EN-MH1-B2 NiMH batteries, ZR6 oxy-nickel batteries, and FR6/L91 lithium batteries. Do
not mix old and new batteries or batteries of different makes or types. Batteries
with the following defects can not be used:
EN-MH1-B2 Batteries
Charge EN-MH1-B2 batteries before fi rst use. Charge and use as a set: do not charge
batteries one at a time or mix batteries from different pairs. Note that the batteries may
tend to discharge more quickly when new or after a long period of disuse. The batter-
ies will retain a charge longer once they have been used and recharged several times.
“Memory” effects that result in reduced battery capacity can be avoided by periodically
refreshing the batteries as described in the Appendix ( 93).
