Inserting the Batteries
The following batteries can be used in the camera. Please choose which kind to use according to your
needs.
Battery Type Feature
AA Alkaline Batteries (LR6) (included) You can obtain them anywhere, so they are convenient for travel.
However, in a low-temperature environment the number of shots you can take will decrease. Warm
the batteries before use. It is recommended that you use the rechargeable battery when using the
camera for a long time.
Rechargeable Battery (DB-43 or DB-40)
(sold separately)
This is a lithium-ion battery. This is economical because you can recharge it using the battery charger
BJ-2 (sold separately) and use it over and over again. They last a long time, so they are convenient
for travel.
AA Nickel Batteries (available in stores) These batteries are not rechargeable. However, they last a long time as compared with AA Alkaline
Batteries when used with a digital camera.
Nickel-Hydrogen Battery (available in stores) This battery is economical because you can recharge and use it over and over again. Please use a
battery recharger available in stores.
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.
Indication of the number of images you can take
*1 The number of shots in the Synchro-Monitor Mode (see P.22)
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 mode, the number of shots you can take will increase.
In addition to the batteries, you can use the AC Adapter (sold separately).
