Installing the Batteries
AA alkaline, AA lithium and AA nickel manganese batteries are not
rechargeable.
Do not open the battery/card cover or remove the batteries while
the camera is turned on.
If you do not intend to use the camera for a long time, remove the batteries.
If the batteries are left in the camera for a long time, they may leak.
If the batteries have been removed from the camera for a long
time, when they are reinserted and the camera is turned on, the
message [Battery depleted] may appear. This can also happen
when using the camera for the first time; however this is not a
malfunction. Wait a minute and then turn the camera on again to
reset the camera. The date and time may also be reset.
Insert the batteries correctly. If the batteries are incorrectly
oriented, malfunction may result. If the ends of the batteries look
dirty, wipe them before inserting into the camera.
