Using the AC Battery Charger/
Adapter
Keep the following battery considerations in mind as you use the camera.
©
IMPORTANT: Do not attempt to remove the battery; it is not a cus-
tomer serviceable part.
©
IMPORTANT: The section "Battery Charging for Optimal Capacity" in
Chapter 7 includes important battery information.
©
The camera incorporates a single, rechargeable nickel hydride battery
that powers both the camera back and the camera; no batteries are
installed in the camera.
©
The Specifications appendix lists the number of frames you can expect
from a full-charged battery in typical shooting situations.
©
When the camera will be used in the field, charge the battery as close
to the time it will be used as possible.
©
You can operate the camera while connected to the supplied AC
battery charger/adapter, or you can recharge the battery with the
adapter and then use the camera in the field without the adapter.
©
The adapter will run the camera continuously while charging the
battery.
©
You can leave the camera continually connected to the AC battery
charger/adapter, however, this will not maintain a full charge. Discon-
nect and then reconnect the charger before use, and charge for two
hours to ensure a full charge.
©
If you are using the camera in an environment in which a power
outlet is available, we recommend that you operate the camera while
connected to the AC battery charger/adapter as described below.

tremes on battery operation.
