* Use of the lithium-ion battery is recommended.
First, press the camera power button and the LCD
monitor button to turn both off.
1. Open the battery cover
on the bottom by
pushing the battery
cover lock button in the
direction of the arrow
mark.
Warning
Do not perform this operation with wet hands
because there is danger of electrical shock.
2. Load the batteries.
•Ordinary AA batteries
Load 3 AA batteries with
the electrodes correctly
aligned with the indications
inside the battery
compartment.
Caution:
Incorrect polarity orientation might cause the
batteries to leak or heat, resulting in physical
injury, smear, or damage to the camera.
Note:
Two different types of batteries can be used: AA
alkaline and AA NiMH (3 each).
With Size AA alkaline batteries, the camera can
shoot about 10 pictures (if the LCD monitor is
turned on) or about 150 pictures (if the LCD
monitor is turned off) and plays recorded pictures
continuously for about 20 minutes (all under our
defined test conditions).

•Lithium-ion battery (PX-LB1)
Load the battery with the
label facing upward and
with the plus and minus
electrodes positioned as
shown in the diagram.
3. After making sure that the batteries are correctly
loaded, close the battery cover positively until it
clicks into position.
Note:
Battery replacement is indicated when only the
right half of the Battery indicator in the data
display panel is displayed. Replace all three AA
batteries at the same time. It is recommended
that spare batteries be carried on trips.
•AC adapter
(Option: PX-AC1/PX-AC2)
Connect the AC adapter
to an AC power outlet.
Next, connect the power
cable of the AC adapter to
the power input terminal of
the camera.
Handling the AC Adapter
•
Be sure to read Safety Considerations and the
instructions supplied with the AC adapter.
•
Use an AC adapter of the specified type
(PX-AC1/PX-AC2). Use of a nonstandard AC
adapter might cause the camera to fail or fire
or to develop electrical shock hazards.

Inserting/Ejecting Compact Flash
(CF) card
CF card applications and handling
●CF cards can be used to store photographic

computer (see Transferring Image Files to a
Personal Computer). Refer to CompactFlash
(CF) cards concerning handling.
Preparation
●Make sure that the lens cover is closed and that
