remove the batteries. The batteries will discharge slowly if left in the
camera. This may cause complete battery discharge as well as loss
of images. The batteries may corrode if left in the camera for
extended periods of time.

regulations. Do not place them in fire.
5. The digital camera has an automatic power-saving feature. The
camera will turn off automatically if it has not been used after
approximately thirty (30) seconds.
When the camera is connected to a computer using a USB cable, it is not
necessary to use batteries because the camera uses the power provided by
the computer through the USB interface
