Using Your Batteries

Our laboratory testing has shown that our digital camera models comply with industry standard battery consumption levels (Camera & Imaging Products Association commonly known as CIPA). All digital cameras are high drain products. For the best performance and prolonged battery life, we recommend the use of high capacity batteries designed for such applications. Here are some helpful hints to extend battery life considerably by limiting the following activities: Reviewing the pictures on the LCD Screen Using the optical viewfinder (if your camera has one) to frame the subject when taking pictures Excessive use of the flash Remove batteries from your camera when not in use to prevent battery leakage. WARNING! Batteries should be replaced by an adult. Use recommended or equivalent type of batteries only. Insert the batteries in the correct orientation. Remove exhausted batteries from the camera immediately. Do not short the supply terminals. Please dispose of the batteries properly. Do not touch the lens when the camera hangs due to low battery. Please replace the batteries and power on the camera. These instructions should be retained for future reference.

Checking the Battery Level
Check the battery power level before taking pictures. 1. Turn on the camera. 2. Check the battery power level that appears on the LCD screen. Battery power is full. Battery power is adequate. Battery power is low. Batter power is exhausted. Please replace the battery.
Turning the Camera On and Off
1. Press the (POWER) button until the Power on LED screen turns on. 2. Press the (POWER) button again to turn the power off.
