Battery Life
The values noted below indicate the number of hours before bat-
tery failure under normal operating temperature (25°C). These
values are for reference only, and do not guarantee that any par-
ticular set of batteries actually will provide the service life indi-
cated. Low temperatures shorten battery life.
• The above guidelines are based on the following battery types:
Alkaline:MX1500 (AA) DURACELL ULTRA
Lithium: Energizer
• Battery life varies with brand
Continuous recording values show the number of shots without
using the flash. The number of shots depends on use of the flash
and whether flash is turned on or off.

Owner’s Manual
*This camera does not have a separate battery to power its clock.
Clock settings are cleared whenever power to the camera is cut off
(by batteries going dead while the camera is not connected to an
AC power outlet with the AC adaptor) for about 12 hours. After
power is resumed, either by loading fresh batteries or connecting to
an AC power outlet, you will have to set the correct time and date
again.
*The liquid crystal panel built into this camera is the product of preci-
sion engineering, with an effective pixel rate of 99.99%. This also
means, however that 0.01% of the pixels can be expected to fail to
light or to remain lit at all times.
