Getting started
Preparing batteries
Use the following batteries in this camera. Notes on using alkaline batteries
• Alkaline batteries have a shorter life compared
to the supplied Nickel-Metal Hydride batteries.
For this reason, the power may turn off even
though the battery remaining indicator shows
sufficient battery life remaining.
• Battery performance differs greatly depending
on the manufacturer and the type of battery, and
in some cases the battery life may be extremely
short. This is especially true at low
temperatures, and you may not be able to shoot
at temperatures below 5°C (41°F).
• Do not mix new and old batteries.
• The battery remaining indicator does not
display the correct information when using
alkaline batteries.
• Due to the characteristics of alkaline batteries,
there is a large difference between the available
shooting time and the available playback time.
For this reason, the camera may turn off with
the lens portion extended when you switch the
mode dial. In this case, replace the batteries
with new ones or fully charged Nickel-Metal
Hydride batteries.
We recommend using the supplied
Nickel-Metal Hydride batteries.

If you use the batteries described above,

such as brownout of the batteries.
Charging the
batteries
, Insert Nickel-Metal Hydride
batteries into the battery
charger (supplied) with the
correct polarity +/–.
• You cannot charge alkaline batteries
using the battery charger.
• Be sure to charge the Nickel-Metal
Hydride batteries supplied with your
camera before using them.
• Connect the battery charger to an easily
accessible wall outlet (wall socket) close by.
• Even if the CHARGE lamp is not lit, the battery
charger is not disconnected from the AC power
source (mains) as long as it is connected to the
wall outlet (wall socket). If some trouble occurs
while using the battery charger, immediately
shut off the power by disconnecting the plug
from the wall outlet (wall socket).
