Page 59 highlights

Problem I replace the camera batteries frequently. The image display is too bright or too dim. The wrong date or time appears. Possible cause Solution Extended use of the image display consumes battery power. Unloading images to your computer can also consume a lot of battery power. To extend the life of your batteries: • Always use an AC adapter to power the camera when you are using the image display for an extended period of time and when you are unloading images to your computer. • Limit your use of the image display. The batteries you are using are not the recommended higher-grade batteries. Do not use ordinary alkaline batteries. Purchase higher-grade batteries, such as "ultra-" or "premium-" grade titanium, alkaline, or lithium batteries, or switch to rechargeable NiMH batteries. These batteries are available from various battery manufacturers. The camera turns on and consumes battery power while you carry it loose in a purse or backpack. Always carry the camera securely in a case. The NiMH batteries you are using were recharged incorrectly. You must recharge all four NiMH batteries after fully draining them four times for the batteries to reach their optimum capacity and performance. The brightness setting is too low or high for the ambient light. Adjust the brightness setting by using the camera's Setup menu. The batteries are empty or were removed from the camera for more than 15 minutes. Replace the batteries, and then reset the date and time using the camera menus. To avoid losing date and time information, replace low batteries promptly. Troubleshooting 51
