Tips to Extend the Recording and Playback Times

* The battery lives indicated above tend to narrow depending on the ambient

environment.

* In an extremely cold environment, warming the batteries by hand, for example, could

allow you to take more pictures. Where the ambient temperature is extremely low,

use of rechargeable Ni-Cd batteries is recommend for their cold resistance.

* Choose rechargeable batteries having as high a capacitance as possible. (The

capacitance rating is marked in the unit mAh.)

* Increased use of the flash or zoom feature or the LCD monitor would speed up the

exhaustion of the batteries. Cut their usage to a minimum required.

* The available picture count tends to increase when they are recorded in the 900 ×

600 recording mode.

* Copying or erasing images repeatedly would also accelerate the exhaustion of the

batteries.

• You are advised to make spare batteries available when powering the camera

from the internal batteries alone.

• The battery symbol (

), when lit, indicates that the camera's internal batteries

have a diminishing voltage. Make spare batteries available.

Rechargeable Size AA Ni-Cd and Ni-MH batteries have a characteristic

tendency to turn off their power immediately when the battery symbol is lit.

■ Handling Precautions

• Do not use damaged batteries or batteries at the end of their service lives.

• Do not subject the batteries to strong impacts .

Using an AC Adapter

When using the camera for extended periods of time to shoot or playback images,

connect an AC adapter (optional) to the camera and power the camera from a

household electrical source.

Using the AC Adapter

Before using the AC adapter, be sure to read the safety precautions in the

accompanying manual.
