The two batteries used should both be of the same type. xNumber of available shots (with fully charged batteries) The table below provides a guide to the number of shots that can be taken at normal temperature with 50% flash use. Note that these figures may vary depending on the camera's ambient temperature and the level of battery charge.

Battery charging will be completed in about 13 hours, but the power lamp remains lit. Unplug the battery charger from the power outlet when it is not in use. Slide the "battery cover" in the direction of the arrow and open the cover. 1 xNotes on the Batteriesx It is also possible to take some shots using alkaline batteries if you use the viewfinder (P.24). However, due to the nature of alkaline batteries, they can only be used for extremely short periods and they may not work at all in cold conditions. q Lithium or manganese batteries should not be used at all as they emit heat and can damage the camera. q Do not use old and new batteries together. q ! qNi-MH batteries are not fully charged at shipment and must be charged before being used. ! qFully discharged Ni-MH batteries take approximately 12 hours (1450 mAh) or 13 hours (1600 mAh) to recharge. KR-3UF Ni-Cd batteries take approximately 8 hours to recharge. ! qThe power lamp remains lit even after charging is completed. ! qShorter charging times can be achieved using the NiMH/Battery Charger BCH-NH (P.103). ! q Do not apply excessive force to the battery cover. ! q Always switch the camera off when replacing the batteries. If the camera is left switched on, the camera settings may revert to the factory default settings. ! q If the AC power adapter has been connected or the batteries have been installed for about half a day or longer, the camera settings will be retained for about half a day after the AC power adapter has been disconnected and the batteries have been removed. Check the date setting after you replace the batteries. ! qUse only the designated batteries. Batteries other than AA-size Ni-MH or Ni-Cd batteries cannot be recharged in the BC-NH. ! qAttempting to charge batteries other than those specified for use with the charger (such as manganese, alkaline or lithium batteries) can cause the batteries to burst or leak. This could result in a fire or injury and consequent damage to the surroundings. 16 17 SELECTING THE POWER SUPPLY LOADING AND REMOVING THE SmartMediaTM Using the AC Power Adapter SmartMediaTM s Only use 3.3V SmartMedia.
