Note

Important information about battery usage

Please remove the batteries if the camera will not be used for long periods.

Batteries can lose power over time and are prone to leak if kept inside the camera.

Do not use manganese batteries as they cannot deliver sufficient power.

Low temperatures (below 0^ ) can cause the camera to work for a shorter period of time due to reduced battery performance. The batteries will recover at normal temperatures.

Do not use old and new batteries or different types together.

Extended use of the camera may cause the camera body to become warm.

This is perfectly normal.

If you are planning to use this camera for long periods of time, it is advisable to use an AC adapter.

Using the AC power adapter

  • If you have access to a main supply, using an AC Adapter allows the camera to be used

for long periods of time. If you connect the camera to a computer, it is advisable to use an AC adapter rather than the camera's battery, as this will enable extended use.

  • Plug the adapter into the connection point (DC 6V IN) on the camera. Please ensure that you use an AC adapter with the correct specification for the camera.

  • Failure to do so may affect your warranty.
