teries to supply power for all camera oper-
ations.

batteries, and lithium batteries cannot be used.
1.Open the battery-chamber door by
sliding it in the direction indicated.
• When replacing the batteries, make sure the
camera is off.
• Quartz-date model: the date and time must be
reset when the batteries are replaced.
2.Insert the batteries with the polari-
ties as indicated by + and – marks
on the back of the battery-chamber
door.
3.Close the battery-chamber door and
slide it toward the body to engage
the safety catch.
LOW BATTERY INDICATOR
If the blinking low-battery indicator
appears on the data panel with other indi-
cators, the camera can still operate, but
the batteries should be replaced soon.
If the blinking low-battery indicator appears
alone, the camera is unable to operate due
to insufficient power. Replace the batteries.
