We recommend using batteries for a digital camera.(Within a year from the date of manufacture) The batteries are listed below.

Non rechargeable batteries : AA type – Alkaline, Ni-Mn, Ni-Zn, Lithium

CR-V3 type – Lithium

Rechargeable batteries : AA type – Ni-MH, Ni-Cd (over 1000mA)

CR-V3 type – Digimax Battery I-Pack(SBP-1103) Battery pack – Digimax Battery Pack(SBP-3603)

[ AA type battery ] [ CR-V3 type battery ] [ Battery pack ]

NOTICE Important information about battery usage

- It is easy to buy alkaline batteries. However, the duration for using batteries varies in accordance with the battery manufacturer or the photographic conditions. When the camera is not used, turn off the camera power.

- Do not recharge the non rechargeable batteries. It may cause an explosion.

- Please remove the batteries if the camera will not be used for long periods. Batteries can lose power over time and are prone to leaking if kept inside the camera.

- We recommend high capacity ALKALINE batteries as manganese batteries cannot deliver sufficient power.

- Low temperatures (below 0 ) can affect the performance of the batteries and you may experience reduced battery life.

- Batteries will usually recover at normal temperatures.

- Do not use old and new batteries at the same time.

During extended use of the camera, the camera body may become warm. This is perfectly normal.

- If you are planning to use this camera for long periods of time, it is advisable to use an AC adapter(3.3V 2.0A).

Using the batteries

Inserting the AA type battery Inserting the CR-V3 type battery

The Digimax Battery Pack is a rechargeable external Li-ion battery for use with most digital cameras. These optional battery packs provide long lasting power and their operating performances are much improved over Ni-MH and Alkaline batteries. This is due to the mass storage lithium ion cell.

Using the Digimax battery pack ( Optional : SBP-3603, 3.3V)

Connecting to a Power Source

If you have access to a mains supply, using an AC Adapter (3.3V 2.0A) allows the camera to be used for long periods of time. Plug the adapter into the connection point (DC IN 3.3V) on the camera. Remove the batteries when using the AC adapter.

DANGER

Always turn off the power before taking the AC adapter out of the mains supply. As with all mains powered devices, safety is important. Ensure that neither the camera nor adapter comes into contact with water or metallic materials. Please ensure that you use an AC adapter (3.3V 2.0A) with the correct specification for the camera. Failure to do so may affect your warranty.

Attaching the strap

To prevent accidental damage to the camera, always use the strap. Refer to the illustrations below.

Using the AC power adapter (3.3V 2.0A)

Instructions on how to use the memory card

The camera comes with 16MB of internal flash memory, allowing you to store images and movie clips in the camera. However, you can expand the memory capacity by using an optional memory card so that you can store more images and movie clips.

NOTICE

Camera shake warning.

When the Flash Off or Slow synchro mode is selected in a low lighting condition, the camera shake warning indicator ( ) may appear on the LCD monitor. In this case, use a tripod,

support the camera on a solid surface or change the flash mode to flash shot mode. Backlight compensated shots When taking an outdoor shot, avoid facing the sun, as the image may be dark because of the strong backlight. In conditions where there is a strong backlight, please use exposure compensation (p.44). Avoid obstructing the lens or the flash when you capture an image. As there can be some differences between what is seen through the Viewfinder and the resulting image when taken at a range closer than 1.5m, it is recommended that you use the LCD monitor to compose the shot. Using the LCD monitor extensively will drain the batteries. We recommend turning off the LCD monitor and using the optical viewfinder as often as possible in order to extend battery life. Under certain conditions the auto focus system may not perform as expected.

- When photographing a subject that has little contrast.

- If the subject is highly reflective or shiny.

- If the subject is moving at high speed.

- When there is strong reflected light, or when the background is very bright.

- When the subject matter has only horizontal lines or the subject is very narrow (such as a stick or flagpole).

- In dark conditions
