INSTALLING THE BATTERIES AND CARD
CAUTION
Be careful when removing the card i Do not attempt to forcibly remove the card.
i Never remove the card when the camera is connected to a computer or printer, or when the self-timer indicator is flashing quickly. In doing so, you risk losing the data stored in the card.
Manganese batteries cannot be used i Not only do manganese batteries have a short battery life, but there is the danger of their overheating and causing damage to the digital camera.
Other batteries i If you wish to use batteries other than the alkaline batteries (LR6), we recommend the following.
h eneloop rechargeable Ni-MH batteries.
h
If installing these batteries, display the Option Menu (page 55), select
“BATTERY TYPE” and specify the type of battery that you are using.
When installing the batteries, make sure that they are oriented correctly.
Do not open the battery/card compartment cover when the camera is turned on i If the battery/card compartment cover is opened while the power is on, important data may be lost. Sanyo Electric shall not be held responsible for any losses that result from failure to comply with this warning.

HINT
Shooting without a card installed i When a card is installed, images are recorded to and played back from the card. When no card is installed, images are recorded to and played back from the camera’s internal memory. When the camera is turned on with no card installed, the internal memory icon is shown on the monitor to let you know that the images you capture will be saved to the camera’s internal memory.
About the internal backup battery i This camera’s internal battery serves to maintain the date and time settings, as well as the shooting settings. The backup battery will be fully charged when the batteries are kept in the camera continuously for about
2 days. In the fully charged state, the backup battery will maintain the camera settings for about 7 days.
When not using the camera for a long time, remove the batteries i A small amount of power is still used even if the camera is turned off, and it is therefore recommended that the batteries be removed from the camera if it is not going to be used for a long time. Note that when the batteries are removed for a long period, the time and date settings may be cleared.
Before using your camera again, be sure to confirm that the camera settings are correct.
