Battery life indicator
Located on the status LCD, the battery life indicator is active at all times while the camera is on. It
shows you the power level of the batteries. The number of pictures that can be taken varies according
to the performance and usage conditions of the batteries.
Using the AC adapter
The AC adapter allows the camera to be powered from an electrical household outlet. It is
recommended when the camera is interfaced with a computer or during periods of heavy use.
1. Remove the DC terminal cover.
2. Insert the mini plug of the AC adapter into AC adapter terminal.
3. Insert the AC adapter plug into an electrical outlet.
Always use the AC adapter from the manufacture. Otherwise fire and/or electrical shock
may occur as a result.
When carrying the camera overseas, check with a travel agency, etc., and prepare a
conversion adapter suitable for the power plug of the destination country in advance.
Auto shut-off function
When using the camera with batteries and no operation is made for a certain time, the camera
power will automatically turn off to prevent battery depletion. To restore from auto shut-off, press
the menu, quick view, display or 5-way controller button, or switch the main switch to another
position. The time for auto shut-off is factory set to 1 min, and the setting can be changed in the
SET-UP menu. (See page 36.)
Note: The auto shut-off function operates even when using the AC adapter.
Inserting/Removing the CompactFlash Card
Always turn the main switch to the OFF position and confirm the card access LED is off before
inserting/removing the CompactFlash Card, otherwise the card may be damaged.
Inserting the card
1. Slide down the terminal door release to open the terminal door.
2. Face the label of the CompactFlash Card toward the front of the camera and the end of the
connector toward the card slot.
