Answers to Frequently Asked Questions Q How long will the camera batteries last? A The alkaline battery included with the camera should be able to take at least 100 pictures (assuming the flash is used for 50% of these), but this is only a rough estimate. Battery life is affected by many variables, such as how often you use the monitor, how often you use the flash, the type of batteries used and environmental conditions. In particular, keeping the monitor on constantly will cause the battery to drain more quickly. Be sure to turn the monitor off whenever you don't need it, and also turn the camera's power off quickly when you are finished using the camera. Use of the optional AC adaptor is recommended. Q How can I set the clock in the camera for recording the date on image data? A The camera does not ship with the date pre-set, and therefore you must set the correct date before shooting (p.12). Leaving the battery removed from the camera for approximately 1 hour will return the date to its un-set state. Q Can I use a filter or a hood with this camera? A Such accessories cannot be connected to the camera. Q Can I use an extension flash with this camera? A This camera was not designed for use with extension flash units. Also, a slave unit may not function with this camera. Q Why do the subject's eyes sometimes appear red in the pictures? A This red-eye phenomenon occurs with all cameras when shooting people using a flash. This is caused by the light from the flash reflecting off the back of the eye. Red-eye varies depending on the individual, as well as on shooting conditions such as ambient lighting and distance from the subject. Use of the Red-eye Reduction Flash Mode significantly reduces this phenomenon (p.66). 136
