Inserting the Batteries

AA Alkaline Batteries (LR6) (included)

You can obtain them anywhere, so they are convenient for travel. 

However, in a low-temperature environment the number of shots you can take will decrease. Warm

the batteries before use. It is recommended that you use the rechargeable battery when using the

camera for a long time.

Rechargeable Battery (DB-43 or DB-40) 

(sold separately)

This is a lithium-ion battery. This is economical because you can recharge it using the battery charger

BJ-2 (sold separately) and use it over and over again. They last a long time, so they are convenient

for travel.

AA Nickel Batteries (available in stores)

These batteries are not rechargeable. However, they last a long time as compared with AA Alkaline

Batteries when used with a digital camera.

Nickel-Hydrogen Battery (available in stores) This battery is economical because you can recharge and use it over and over again. Please use a

battery recharger available in stores.

The battery may be inert and consequently it may not supply power immediately after it is purchased

or left unused for more than a month. In such a case, recharge the battery two or three times before

use. The battery self-discharges with time even if the camera is not used, so recharge it before use. 

*1 The number of shots in the Synchro-Monitor Mode (see P.22) 

The number of shots is based on a temperature of 22 degrees Celsius, shooting at 30-second intervals and one out of every 

two being shot with the flash.

If you set the camera to the Power-Save mode, the number of shots you can take will increase.

In addition to the batteries, you can use the AC Adapter (sold separately).

• Other batteries, such as manganese dry cell (R6) and Ni-Cd, cannot be used.

• Please remove the batteries if you are not going to use the camera for a long period of time.

• The life of an AA alkaline battery (LR6) depends on the brand and the storage time from the date of production. In addition, the life of

an alkaline battery becomes shorter at low temperatures.

• The Nickel-Hydrogen Battery is not factory-charged. Charge it before use. 

• The battery may become very hot immediately after operation. Turn the camera off and leave it to cool down sufficiently before remov-

ing the battery.
