For each operation, be sure to refer to the corresponding pages. 1 1� Insert the batteries. 2 1 Set the Recording/playback switch to [Q]. 2 Select the picture you want to view. (P37) • When you do not use the card (optional), you can record or play back pictures on the built-in memory. Refer to P16 when you use a card. 2� Turn the camera on to take pictures. • Set the clock.
Preparation About the Batteries ■ Usable batteries AA Alkaline batteries (supplied) AA Rechargeable Ni-MH (nickel metal hydride) batteries (optional) AA Oxyride batteries (optional) • One of the following messages appears when you insert batteries for the first time, change the batteries when they become exhausted etc.
Preparation ■ Battery shapes that cannot be used • Batteries with unusual shapes cause leakage, heat generation or explosion if inserted in the camera. • Batteries with the covering partly or fully peeled off. Never use these batteries. (Refer to the illustration below.) • All or part of the covering on the battery is peeled off. • The ) pole is flat. ■ Proper Care and Handling of Batteries Mishandling batteries may cause leakage, heat generation, fire or explosion. Observe the following.
Preparation • We recommend charging the batteries after they are fully discharged. If you charge the batteries before they are fully discharged, it can reduce battery performance. This is called “memory effect”. • If “memory effect” occurs, continue using the batteries until the camera stops working and then charge them fully. Battery performance will be restored after a few charges and discharges. • Over time Ni-MH batteries naturally discharge and their capacity lowers even when they are not used.
Preparation • The number of recordable pictures and the playback time will also vary depending on the brand and type of batteries used. • We recommend using economy mode or turning off the camera frequently while recording to maintain battery power. The number of recordable pictures varies depending on the recording interval time. If the recording interval time becomes longer, the number of recordable pictures decreases. (e.g.
