• Nickel-Hydrogen Battery (available in stores)
This is economical because you can recharge and use
it over and over again. Use a charger (available in
stores) for charging.
The battery may be inert and consequently it may not supply power
immediately after it is purchased or left unused for more than a month. In
such a case, recharge the battery two or three times before use. The battery
self-discharges with time even if the camera is not used, so recharge it
before use.
In addition to the batteries, you can use the AC Adapter (P.161).
Batteries (Cells) Not Acceptable
The camera does not accept the following batteries (cells):
• Manganese dry cell (R6)
• Ni-Cd battery
• CR-V3
Note
Indication of the number of images you can take
• The number of shots is based on a temperature of 22 degrees Celsius, shooting at 30
second intervals and one out of every two being shot with the flash. If you set the camera to
the Power-Save or Synchro-Monitor mode, the number of shots you can take will increase.
• The number of shots is for reference only. If the camera is used for long periods of time for
setting and playback, the shooting time (the number of shots) will decrease.
