Getting Started Powering the Camera 1 Installing the Batteries Install the batteries into the camera. Use two AA alkaline, AA lithium, AA Ni-MH, or AA nickel manganese batteries. 1 Open the battery/card cover. Slide the battery/card cover in the direction 1. The cover will automatically open in the direction 2 when you release your fingers from it. 2 Insert the batteries, making sure the (+) and (-) terminals on the batteries match the (+) and (-) symbols inside the battery compartment. 3 Close the battery/card cover and slide it in the opposite direction of 1. • AA alkaline, AA lithium and AA nickel manganese batteries are not rechargeable. • Do not open the battery/card cover or remove the batteries while the camera is turned on. • If you do not intend to use the camera for a long time, remove the batteries. If the batteries are left in the camera for a long time, they may leak. • If the batteries have been removed from the camera for a long time, when they are reinserted and the camera is turned on, the message [Battery depleted] may appear. This can also happen when using the camera for the first time; however this is not a malfunction. Turn the camera off, wait a minute and then turn the camera on again to reset the camera. The date and time may also be reset. • Insert the batteries correctly. If the batteries are incorrectly oriented, malfunction may result. If the ends of the batteries look dirty, wipe them before inserting into the camera. 18
