œ Periodically clean with a dry cloth the terminals of the nickel metal hydride batteries ((+) and (–))  
and the terminals located in the battery compartment of the digital camera.  
œ Do not touch the battery terminals or the terminals in the battery compartment of the digital  
camera with your bare hands. Doing so will allow contaminants from your hands to adhere to  
the terminals and oxidize, increasing the contact resistance. If the contact resistance increases,  
the usable life of the batteries will diminish.

CAUTION  
Cautions when cleaning the lens  
œ If the lens gets dirty, use a commercially available air blower or a cleaning cloth for  
photographic equipment to clean it.  
Cautions when not using the digital camera  
œ Close the lens cover whenever you are not using the digital camera.  
When not using the digital camera for a long period  
œ Remove the batteries. However, when the batteries are removed for a long time, the digital  
camera functions may begin to not work properly. Periodically reinstall the batteries and check  
the digital camera functions.  
œ If the batteries are left in the digital camera, a small amount of power is still used even if the  
digital camera is turned off. If the nickel metal hydride batteries are left in the digital camera for  
a long period, they may become completely discharged and loose their ability to be recharged  
again.  
Cautions concerning condensation  
œ Using the digital camera with condensation inside it may damage the digital camera.  
Be careful of condensation under the following conditions  
œ When moving the digital camera suddenly from a cold place to a warm place.  
œ When the ambient temperature changes drastically, such as when a heater is turned on to  
quickly heat the room.  
œ When the digital camera is placed in the path of cool air from an air conditioner.  
œ When the digital camera is placed in a location of high humidity.  
If condensation seems likely to form  
œ Place the digital camera in a plastic bag and seal it, and then wait until the digital camera has  
reached the ambient temperature.  
Cautions concerning undesired interference  
œ The digital camera may create undesired interference if used close to a television or radio. To  
avoid this type of interference, make sure the cores on the supplied AV cable and computer  
serial port interface cable are not removed.

PREPARATION Oꢀ BATTERIES  
Use the supplied (or sold separately) AA nickel metal hydride batteries to power the digital  
camera. You can also use AA Ni-Cd batteries, but they will not last as long as the AA nickel metal  
hydride rechargeable batteries. However, if you do not have access to these batteries, you may  
use alkaline batteries and capture images using the viewfinder (see page 56). Also note that the  
duration of operation provided by the alkaline batteries will be very short.  
CAUTION  
œ Manganese batteries cannot be used, as they have an extremely short battery life and may  
overheat and damage the digital camera.  
œ For your safety, read “Concerning the Batteries” on page 5 and “Concerning the Supplied  
Battery Charger” on page 7 before handling the batteries.  
Recharging Nickel Metal Hydride Batteries  
Make sure to completely recharge the supplied nickel metal hydride batteries before use. Use only  
the supplied battery charger to recharge the batteries. This battery charger can be used for both  
the nickel metal hydride batteries (HR-3US or HR-3U, supplied with the digital camera or sold  
separately) and the Ni-Cd batteries (N-3US or N-3U, sold separately). Before using the batteries  
for the first time or when the batteries remaining charge is low (see “REMAINING BATTERY  
CHARGE INDICATION” on page 44), follow the steps below to recharge them.  
1
Insert the batteries into the battery charger.  
to AC  
œ Make sure the polarity ((+), (–)) of the batteries is  
as indicated on the charger.  
2
3
Insert the power cord into the socket on the  
battery charger.  
Plug the power cord into a power outlet (AC 100  
to 240V).  
Recharge  
indicator  
œ Recharge will start automatically.  
œ During recharge, the recharge indicator on the  
battery charger will light.  
œ If the batteries are completely discharged, the  
indicator may flash. If the indicator lights up  
steadily after a few minutes, the batteries are okay.  
œ When the batteries are recharged, the indicator will  
go off.  
Recharge time of the supplied nickel metal hydride  
batteries: approx. 200 minutes for two batteries.  
NOTE  
œ Recharge time of the Ni-Cd batteries: approx. 130 minutes for two batteries.  
œ The recommended ambient temperature when recharging is between 10°C and 40°C. If the  
temperature is less than 10°C, the batteries may be unable to be fully recharged.

PREPARATION Oꢀ BATTERIES  
Using the Nickel Metal Hydride Batteries  
Properly  
œ Periodically clean with a dry cloth the terminals of the nickel metal hydride batteries ((+)  
and (–)) and the terminals located in the battery compartment of the digital camera.  
Do not touch the battery terminals or the terminals in the battery compartment of the digital  
camera with your bare hands. Doing so will allow contaminants from your hands to adhere to  
the terminals and oxidize and increase the contact resistance. If the contact resistance  
increases, the usable life of the batteries will diminish.  
œ If you repeatedly remove the nickel metal hydride batteries before they run out and recharge  
them, or place them into the digital camera before they are fully recharged, then a “memory  
effect”* may occur.  
œ Your digital camera is designed to handle the effects from voltage fluctuations caused by the  
“memory effect” of nickel metal hydride batteries. Nevertheless, there are times when the  
remaining charge indicator may show ( or ) earlier than usual.  
œ If any symptoms such as these occur, first discharge the batteries completely (see page 120)  
and then recharge them until they are fully charged again.  
* Memory effect  
œ Memory effect is a phenomenon where the battery performance temporarily lowers. In general,  
the battery voltage during use drops below its normal voltage until it is fully discharged and  
recharged again.  
NOTE  
œ New batteries must be recharged before they are first used.  
œ If recharged batteries are stored, they will slowly loose their charge. They must be recharged  
before they are used again.  
œ If the batteries are used for the first time or if they have not been used for a long time, they may  
not be recharged completely even when the recharge indicator goes off. (The supplied nickel  
metal hydride batteries should take approx. 200 minutes to be completely recharged. If the  
indicator lamp turns off much earlier than this, the batteries are not fully charged and will soon  
run out of power.) The batteries will return to normal after they have been used and recharged  
two or three times.  
œ The batteries may have reached the end of their service life if the recharge indicator keeps on  
flashing even if the batteries have been inserted correctly, or if they overheat while being  
recharged. However, if the same conditions appear with new batteries, or if the recharge  
indicator does not go off after approximately 300 minutes, it may indicate a problem of the  
battery charger. In such a case, stop using it immediately and take it to the dealer for service.  
œ Two discharged batteries must be recharged at the same time.  
œ During recharging, the battery charger and batteries will be warm. This is normal and does not  
indicate a malfunction.  
œ During recharging, the battery charger may create interference with a radio or TV. In such a  
case, make sure to plug the battery charger into a power outlet on a circuit different from the  
one of the radio or TV.

REMAINING BATTERY CHARGE INDICATION  
NOTE  
œ The remaining battery charge indicator will give an accurate indication of the remaining charge  
only when the supplied nickel metal hydride batteries are used. The indication will not be  
accurate if you are using Ni-Cd batteries.  
œ For optimum performance, only use Sanyo nickel metal hydride batteries. If you are using Ni-Cd  
batteries, the possible operation time will be much shorter.  
œ Depending on the usage of the digital camera (such as the number of times the flash is used,  
the use of the LCD monitor, etc.) or the environmental conditions (temperature, etc.) the  
number of images that can be saved on a set of fully charged batteries will vary greatly.  
HELP  
If the LCD monitor goes off suddenly  
œ When capturing images using the LCD monitor and the battery charge is about half full, the  
LCD monitor may turn off momentarily. This is to allow a quick recharge of the flash. When the  
flash has been recharged, the LCD monitor will come back on automatically.

not be high quality.
