Load the batteries
The camera uses four 1.5 volt AA batteries,
which provide power for the shutter,
electronic flash unit and sonar rangefinder.
Alkaline batteries are recommended. Do
not use NiCad rechargeable batteries; they
may damage the camera. A set of batteries
is included with the camera.
A fresh set of alkaline batteries should last
for approx. 80 flashes. The flash unit should
recharge in 10-12 sec. with fresh batteries;
when the recharge time reaches 30 sec.,
replace the batteries.
The battery compartment is inside the hand
grip. Open the lid (7) and insert the
batteries in the orientation shown inside the
compartment (8). Then close the lid.
If the camera will not be used for an
extended period of time, remove the
batteries and store them separately, to
prevent damage caused by leaking
batteries.
Note: An AC adapter may be preferred for
high-volume use (see Accessories).
