Powering the Camera
This section explains how to load the batteries (AA alkaline batteries) into the camera
and how to connect the AC adapter to power the camera from a household electrical
outlet.
Loading the AA Batteries
Mount AA batteries and operate the camera.
• If you use commercial batteries, use of rechargeable AA batteries (nickel-
cadmium or nickel-metal-hydride batteries) is recommended.
Rechargeable Batteries
• Before using commercially available rechargeable AA Ni-Cd or AA Ni-MH batteries,
read the safety precautions in the accompanying manual.
• Use only the specified AA batteries.
• Never use batteries of an unrecommended type, such as manganese battery,
as this could damage the camera or LCD monitor and cause them to fail.
• Certain types of batteries may become hot after an extended period of use.
Allow them to cool before unloading them.
• Do not use commercially available batteries that are designed for specific
kinds of equipment (such as those marked “For CD players only”) in this
product.
• When purchasing batteries, read the battery instructions carefully to make
sure that they can be used for this product.
• Remove the batteries form the camera before leaving it out service for long.
