Inserting the Batteries
If you have already used this camera, follow
the steps below to make sure it is turned off
before removing or loading batteries.
1. Make sure the LCD monitor is turned off.
2. Make sure the lens barrier (built-in lens
protection) is closed.
The following batteries can be used in the
camera. Please choose which kind to use
according to your needs.
• AA Alkaline Batteries (LR6) (included)
You can obtain them anywhere, so they are
convenient for travel.
However, in a low-temperature environ-
ment the number of shots you can take will
decrease. Warm the batteries before use.
It is recommended that you use the
rechargeable battery when using the cam-
era for a long time.
• Rechargeable Battery (DB-43) (sold separately)
This is a lithium-ion battery. This is eco-
nomical because you can recharge it using
the battery charger BJ-2 (sold separately)
and use it over and over again. They last a
long time, so they are convenient for travel.
• AA Nickel Batteries (available in stores)
These batteries are not rechargeable.
However, they last a long time as com-
pared with AA Alkaline Batteries when
used with a digital camera.
• Nickel-Hydrogen Battery (available in stores)
This battery is economical because you
can recharge and use it over and over
again. Please use a battery recharger
available in stores.
Indication of the number of images
you can take
*1 The number of shots in the Synchro-Mon-
itor Mode (see P.23)
• The number of shots is based on a temper-
ature of 22 degrees Celsius, shooting at
30-second intervals and one out of every
two being shot with the flash. If you set the
camera to the Power-Save mode, the num-
ber of shots you can take will increase. In
addition to the batteries, you can use the
AC Adapter (sold separately).
