Battery Handling Precautions
Incorrect use or handling of batteries can cause them to leak or burst
and seriously damage your camera. Be sure to note the following
important precautions to avoid problems with batteries.
• Use only LR6 (AM-3) type alkaline or
FR6 type lithium dry cell batteries
with this camera. Never mix old bat-
teries with new ones. Failure to do so
can result in bursting or leaking of
batteries, creating the danger of fire
or personal injury.
• Always make sure that the positive
[+] and negative [–] ends of the bat-
teries are facing correctly, as noted
by the markings on the camera itself.
Improper loading of batteries can re-
sult in bursting or leaking of batteries,
creating the danger of personal injury
or soiling of objects nearby.
Caution
15
• Remove batteries from the camera if you do not plan to use it for
more than two weeks.
• Never recharge batteries, never allow direct connection between
two ends of a battery, and never try to take batteries apart.
• Do not expose batteries to direct heat or dispose of them by burn-
ing. Doing so can create the danger of explosion.
• Never mix batteries of different types.
• Dead batteries are susceptible to leakage, which can cause serious
damage to your camera. Remove batteries from the camera as
soon as you notice they are dead.
• The batteries that power this camera normally become warm when
they lose power. This does not indicate malfunction.
Standard Battery Life
The battery life reference values given below indicate the amount of
time at standard temperature (25
° C) until power automatically turns
off due to battery failure. They do not represent a guarantee that bat-
teries will perform for any amount of time. Actual battery life depends
on the battery brand, when the battery was manufactured, and ambi-
ent temperature where the battery is being used.

Low Battery Indicator
A low battery indicator ( ) appears on the LCD and the operation
indicator flashes orange whenever remaining battery power drops
below a certain level.
The above indications mean that the camera will soon turn off auto-
matically if you continue using it. Replace all three camera batteries
with new ones as soon as possible.
Flash Memory
The camera features flash memory for storage of images. Flash
memory does not require electrical power to store data, so image
data is retained in memory even when you turn camera power off. If
batteries go dead, simply load a set of new batteries or connect the
AC adaptor and you will be able to view images in camera memory.
