This camera can also use EN-MH1 Ni-MH rechargeable batteries.
Be sure to read and follow the warnings for the battery found in the section, “The Battery” (A 112),
before using the battery.
B Battery Type
By setting Battery type (A 103) in the setup menu (A83) to match the type of batteries inserted
in the camera, the batteries can perform more efficiently.
The default setting is the type of battery supplied with purchase. When any other type of battery is
used, turn the camera on and change the setting (A 103).
C Alkaline Batteries
Performance of alkaline batteries may vary greatly depending on the manufacturer. Choose a
reliable brand.
C Alternative Power Sources
To power the camera continuously for extended periods, use an AC Adapter EH-65A (available
separately) (A108). 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.
C Auto Power Off in Shooting Mode (Standby Mode)
If no operations are performed for about 30 seconds (default setting), the monitor will turn off
automatically and the camera will enter standby mode. After a further three minutes, the Auto off
function will turn the camera off automatically.
• While the monitor is off during standby mode (the power-on lamp flashes), it will turn on again
when the power switch, shutter-release button, A button, or c button is pressed.
• The time allowed to elapse before the camera enters standby mode can be changed from the
Auto off option (A97) in the setup menu (A83).
