GETTING ACQUAINTED
Loading Batteries
Make sure that camera power is turned off whenever loading
or replacing batteries.
1. Turn the camera over, and
slide the battery cover in the
direction indicated by the
arrow in the illustration to
open it.
2. Load batteries as shown in the illustration, and
then close the battery cover by pressing down
on it as you slide it in the direction indicated by
the arrow.
l Battery Life Guidelines
The battery life guideline values given below indicate the
amount of time at standard temperature (25C) until power
automatically turns off due to battery failure. They do not
guarantee that batteries will provide the amount of service
indicated. Low temperatures and continued use reduce bat-
tery life.
AA-size Ni-MH
Batteries NP-H3
160 minutes
150 minutes
(900 shots)
AA-size Lithium
Batteries FR6
300 minutes
290 minutes

AA-size Alkaline
Batteries LR6
140 minutes

The above figures are approximations only.
The above guidelines are based on the following battery
types:
Alkaline: MX1500 (AA) DURACELL ULTRA
Lithium: Energizer
Figures are based on continuous recording under the fol-
lowing conditions.
Flash turned off
Normal temperature (25C)
Recording one image per minute under the above condi-
tions reduces battery life to about one sixth of that noted
above.
Battery life is greatly affected by how much you use flash,
zoom and other functions, and how long you leave power
turned on.
