B Removing the Batteries
• Turn the camera off and be sure that the power-on lamp and the monitor have turned off before
opening the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover.
• The camera, batteries, or memory card may be hot immediately after using the camera. Observe
caution when removing the batteries or memory card.
B Notes About the Batteries
• Be sure to read and follow the warnings for the battery on page xi and in “Batteries” (F4) before
use.
• Do not combine old and new batteries or batteries of different makes or types.
• Batteries with the following defects cannot be used:
B Battery Type
By setting Battery type in the setup menu (A 82) to match the type of batteries inserted in the
camera, the batteries can perform more efficiently.
The default setting is the type of batteries included with purchase. When any other type of batteries
are used, turn the camera on and change the setting.
C Alkaline Batteries
Performance of alkaline batteries may vary greatly depending on the manufacturer. Choose a
reliable brand.
C AC Power Source
• You can use the AC Adapter EH-65A (available separately; E66) to power the camera from an
electrical outlet.
• Do not, under any circumstances, use another make or model of AC adapter other than the EH-65A.
Failure to observe this precaution could result in overheating or in damage to the camera.
