Attaching the Strap
Attach the strap to the strap ring as shown in the
illustration.
IMPORTANT!
•Be sure to keep the strap around your wrist when
using the camera to protect against accidentally
dropping it.
•The supplied strap is intended for use with this
camera only. Do not use it for any other purpose.
•Never swing the camera around by the strap.
Power Requirements
Your camera features a two-way power supply that lets you
use either AA-size batteries or household AC current. A set
of AA-size rechargeable nickel-metal hydride batteries is
supplied with the camera. The other items listed below are
available separately.
■Batteries
•Two AA-size rechargeable
nickel-metal hydride batteries: HR-3UA
•Proper operation cannot be guaranteed if you use any
other type of battery other than that noted above.
The batteries are not charged when you purchase the
camera. You need to charge batteries before using the
camera for the first time (page 33).
•Two AA-size lithium batteries: FR6
•AA-size alkaline batteries (LR6) can be used if they are
the only option available to you. Note, however, that
alkaline batteries provide about ten minutes or so of
camera operation. Alkaline batteries may not provide any
operation when the temperature is 5˚C (41˚F) or lower.

■To charge the batteries

terminals of each battery as shown in the
illustration, attach the batteries to the charger
unit.

• AC Adaptor: AD-C30
Charging Batteries
You can use the steps below to charge the rechargeable
nickel-metal hydride batteries (HR-3UA) using the charger
unit (BC-5H) that comes with the camera.
Never try to use the charger unit to charge any other
type of batteries besides the specified rechargeable
nickel-metal hydride batteries (HR-3UA). Attempting to
use it to charge dry cells or other types of rechargeable
batteries creates the risk of battery leakage,
overheating, and explosion.

NOTE
• The bundled charger unit is designed for operation
with any power supply in the range of 100V to 240V
AC. Note, however, that the shape of the AC power
cord plug varies according to country or geographic
area. If you plan to use the charger unit in a
geographic area where the power receptacle shape
is different from that in your area, replace the AC
power cord with one of the other ones that comes
with the camera, or purchase a commercially
available AC power cord that is compatible with the
power outlets in that area.
2. Plug the charger unit into a household power
outlet.
• This will cause the [CHARGE] lamp to light.
• Charging will take about four hours.
• Note that the shape of the charger unit depends on
the area where you purchased the camera.
