Notes on Handling Batteries It is recommended that you use the same brand of alkaline batteries as those supplied with the camera. Do not use different types of batteries or old and new batteries together. You cannot use lithium, manganese or nickelcadmium (Ni-Cd) batteries. The operating lives of alkaline batteries vary between brands and the life of batteries you purchase may be shorter than the alkaline batteries provided with the camera. Note also that due to the nature of alkaline batteries, the time for which they can be used is shorter in cold locations (at temperatures of +10oC (+50oF) or below). Consequently, Ni-MH batteries are recommended. Soiling (fingerprints, etc) on the terminals of batteries can greatly reduce the time for which the batteries provide power. You will need the optional charger ( p.52) to recharge Ni-MH batteries. See p.55 for notes on using batteries. It can shoot for almost 300 frames of pictures while using the general alkaline batteries (based on our tests). 1. Rotate the battery cover to the "UNLOCK" side. 2. Twist the battery cover switch and the battery cover will automatically open. Do not apply excessive force to the battery cover. You should carry a spare set of batteries (sold separately) when taking pictures. 3. Load the batteries correctly as indicated by the polarity icons. 12 4. Close the battery cover. 5.
