To load batteries Be sure that camera power is turned off whenever loading or replacing batteries. 1. Press the battery compartment lock on the bottom of the camera in the direction indicated by arrow (1), and swing open the battery compartment cover as indicated by arrow (2). 2. Insert four batteries and close the battery com- partment cover. Be sure to use alkaline or lithium batteries. Never use manganese batteries (see precautions on the next page). • Press down on the battery compartment cover at the point marked A in the illustration until the cover locks into place with a click. 17 18 Battery Handling Precautions Incorrect use or handling of batteries can cause them to leak or burst and seriously damage your camera. Be sure to note the following important precautions to avoid problems with batteries. CAUTION • Use only LR6 (AM-3) type alkaline or FR6 type lithium dry cell batteries with this camera. Never mix old batteries with new ones. Failure to do so can result in bursting or leaking of batteries, creating the danger of fire or personal injury. • Always make sure that the positive [+] and negative [-] ends of the batteries are facing correctly, as noted by the markings on the camera itself. Improper loading of batteries can result in bursting or leaking of batteries, creating the danger of personal injury or soiling of objects nearby. • Remove batteries from the camera if you do not plan to use it for more than two weeks. • Never recharge batteries, never allow direct connection between two ends of a battery, and never try to take batteries apart. • Do not expose batteries to direct heat or dispose of them by burning. Doing so can create the danger of explosion. POWER SUPPLY • Never mix batteries of different types. • Dead batteries are susceptible to leakage, which can cause serious damage to your camera. Remove batteries from the camera as soon as you notice they are dead. • The batteries that power this camera normally become warm when they lose power. This does not indicate malfunction. Low Battery Indicator The battery capacity indicator in the lower left of the monitor screen (shown only when image information display is turned on) changes to " " whenever battery power goes low. If you continue to use the camera, a battery warning indicator " " will appear in the center of the monitor screen, and then camera power will automatically turn off. If this happens, replace all four batteries with new ones as soon as possible. Note that the camera may automatically shut down at a somewhat higher level of remaining battery capacity when a computer is connected to its DIGITAL terminal for data communication. This is to protect against problems caused by sudden power outage during data communications. Because of this, we strongly recommend that you use the optionally available AC adaptor to power the camera whenever performing data communication with a personal computer. 19 POWER SUPPLY Standard Battery Life This camera can be power using AA-size alkaline or lithium batteries. The battery life reference values given below indicate the amount of time at standard temperature (25°C) until power automatically turns off due to battery failure. They do not guarantee that batteries will perform the amount of service indicated. Battery life is reduced by low temperatures and continued use. Type of Operation Continuous Playback Continuous Recording AA-size Alkaline Batteries LR6 Approximately 120 minutes Approximately 320 shots AA-size Lithium Batteries FR6 Approximately 210 minutes Approximately 780 shots • The above guidelines are based on the following battery types: Alkaline: MX1500 (AA) DURACELL ULTRA Lithium: Fuji Film • Battery life varies with brand. "Continuous Recording" is made without use of the camera's flash. Regardless of use of the camera's flash, turning on and off the POWER Switch, as well as other operating conditions may affect the above values. q Tips for Prolonging Battery Life • Press the LCD button to turn off the monitor screen whenever you are using the viewfinder to compose images. • Use the button to turn off the flash when you are not using it. 20 Auto Power Off Power automatically turns off whenever you do not perform any camera operation for a period of time. Power turns off after about two minutes in the Record Mode or after about five minutes in the Playback Mode. • To restore power, simply slide the POWER Switch to the right as you normally do. POWER ON/OFF IMPORTANT! The Auto Power Off function does not operate under the following conditions. • During playback of a movie (page 38) • During playback of a panorama (page 39) • During Auto Play (page 43) • When operations are being performed on a computer connected to the camera via the camera's DIGITAL terminal. (page 66) • Whenever the AC adaptor is connected to the camera.
