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/memory card slot cover.
B Additional Precautions Regarding Batteries
• Read and follow the warnings and cautions (Aiii, 98).
• 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 the type of battery supplied with purchase. If your camera was
purchased in Europe and alkaline batteries were supplied, change the setting to [Alkaline]. When
any other type of battery is used, turn the camera on and change the setting (A93).
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) (A95). 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
If no operations are performed for about five seconds, the monitor will dim to save power. Using any
of the camera controls will reactivate the display. The monitor turns off if no operations are
performed for thirty seconds (default setting). The camera enters standby mode.
After a further three minutes, the camera will turn off automatically (A88).
