Ni-MH, or AA nickel manganese batteries or one CR-V3 battery.
1 Open the battery cover.
Slide the battery cover in the direction indicated by the arrow and
flip the cover open .
2 Insert the batteries according to the (+) and (–)
indicators on the battery chamber.

Close the battery cover and slide it back into place to lock it.
Installing the Batteries
If you intend to use the camera continuously for a long period, use of the AC
adapter D-AC5 (optional) is recommended. (p.18)
• AA alkaline, AA lithium, AA nickel manganese and CR-V3 batteries are not
rechargeable.
• Do not open the battery cover or remove the batteries when the camera is
turned on.
• If you do not intend to use the camera for a long time, remove the batteries,
otherwise the batteries may leak.
• The “Battery depleted” error message may appear when you turn on the power
after purchasing the camera or after replacing the batteries if the batteries had
been removed for a long time. However, this is not an error. Wait a short period
and then turn the power switch on again, the power should come on normally.
If this happens, the date and time, recorded pixels and other settings may be
initialized, reset the various settings according to the procedures in “Setting the
Shooting Functions” (p.68 to 83) and “Camera Settings” (p.118 to 131).
• Insert the batteries correctly. If the batteries are incorrectly oriented,
malfunction may result. Also, carefully clean the batteries’ terminals.
