Batteries and Power

Loading Batteries

Your camera uses four AA batteries to power the camera. For your convenience, two sets of batteries are included with your camera: four alkaline batteries, and four Ni-MH rechargeable batteries with battery charger. The alkaline batteries are provided so you can start using your camera immediately. The rechargeable batteries need to be charged first, before using them in the camera. Although both types of batteries work in your camera, do not mix different types of batteries in the camera at the same time.

For information on guidelines for battery usage, see Using Your Batteries.

Place your thumb on the battery door.
Slide the battery door away from the camera.
Insert the batteries as indicated on the battery cover, then close the battery door.

Turning the Camera On and Off

You turn the camera on and off using the POWER switch, located on the back of the camera.

To turn on the camera, slide the POWER switch to the right.
The Status Display on top of the camera turns on.
To turn off the camera, slide the POWER switch again to the right.
The camera turns off when it is finished processing, deleting, or transferring the picture just taken.

Checking Batteries

So you are never caught with dead batteries, your camera indicates the power level of the batteries, in the form of a battery status symbol, which appears in the Status Display when you turn on the camera.

For information on guidelines for battery usage, see Using Your Batteries.

Set the Mode dial to Capture, Review, or Camera Settings.
The battery status symbol is not visible if you set the camera to Connect.
Slide the POWER switch to the right to turn on the camera.

Check the battery status symbol that appears in the Status Display.

	Full (No Icon)—indicates that batteries are charged and ready to use.
	Low—indicates batteries are not fully charged and will soon need to be replaced or recharged.
	Exhausted (blinking)—indicates batteries are too weak to power the camera and need to be replaced.
