For more information on:
The batteries can be removed without affecting photographs stored on
the camera’s memory card. All M-REC settings except date and language
will, however, be reset.
The camera’s clock-calendar is powered by a separate rechargeable bat-
tery. When you put batteries in your camera for the first time or after a
long period of storage, wait a few hours for the clock battery to recharge
before removing the main batteries.

tery-chamber cover as shown at right.

ber cover.
