Alkaline, NiMH, Lithium and Oxyride. Please select the type of
batteries you are using in the set up menu. For more details,
please refer to “Selecting the Battery Type” on page 29.

• Use the optical viewfinder (if applicable) to frame the subject when
taking pictures.
• Reduce the excessive use of the flash.
• Remove batteries from your camera when not in use for long periods
of time.
WARNING!
• Do not short the supply terminals.
• Do not dispose the batteries in fire.
• Do not touch or push the lens back when the camera hangs due to low
battery. Please replace the batteries and power on the camera.
These instructions should be retained for future reference.
