Notes on alkaline batteries
• Alkaline batteries have a shorter life compared
to the supplied Nickel-Metal Hydride batteries.
The power may shut off even if the battery
remaining indicator shows sufficient battery life
remaining.
• There is a big difference in the performance of
batteries of different types and of batteries
made by different manufacturers. This is
especially true in low temperatures, where
some batteries are noticeably weaker.
You may not be able to shoot in temperatures
below 5°C (41°F).
• Do not mix new and old batteries.
• The battery remaining indicator does not
display the correct information.
• There is a big difference between available
shooting time and available playback time. Due
to the characteristics of alkaline batteries, the
camera may shut off with the lens portion
extended if you change the position of the mode
dial. In this case, replace the batteries with new
ones or fully charged Nickel-Metal Hydride
batteries.
It is recommend that you use the supplied
Nickel-Metal Hydride batteries.
Charging the
batteries
, Insert Nickel-Metal Hydride
batteries into the battery
charger (supplied) with the
correct polarity +/–.
• You cannot charge alkaline batteries
using the battery charger.
• Be sure to charge the Nickel-Metal
Hydride batteries supplied with your
camera before using them.
• Connect the battery charger to an easily
accessible wall outlet (wall socket) close by.
• Even if the CHARGE lamp is not lit, the set is
not disconnected from the AC power source
(mains) as long as it is connected to the wall
outlet (wall socket). If some trouble occurs
while using the battery charger, immediately
shut off the power by disconnecting the plug
from the wall outlet (wall socket).
