ETTING UP AND RUNNING

Installing AA batteries

Although performance is better with a CR-V3 lithium battery, two AA-size Ni-MH
batteries can also be used. Do not use other types of AA batteries. When using Ni-MH
batteries, fully recharge them with a battery charger suitable for complex electronic
equipment. Consult your vendor about an appropriate charger.
Install the AA batteries as shown in the diagram; make
sure the positive and negative battery terminals are
oriented correctly.

Attaching the hand strap

Always keep the strap around your wrist in the event that the camera is accidentally
dropped. An optional metal chain neck strap, NS-DG100, and leather neck strap,
NS-DG200, are also available from your Minolta dealer. Availability varies
with region.
1 Pass the small loop of the hand strap through the strap eyelet on
the camera body (1).
2
Pass the other end of the strap through the small loop
and tighten (2).
