Inserting the Batteries

1. Make sure the LCD monitor is turned off.
2. Make sure the lens barrier (built-in lens protection) is closed.

Two grayscale images of a digital camera with labeled parts (no text or symbols present)

The following batteries can be used in the camera. Please choose which battery to use according to your needs.

• AA Alkaline Batteries (LR6) (included)
You can obtain them anywhere, so they are convenient for travel.
However, in a low-temperature environment the number of shots you can take will decrease. Warm the batteries before use. It is recommended that you use the rechargeable battery when using the camera for a long time.

• Rechargeable Battery (sold separately)
  This is a lithium-ion battery. This is economical because you can recharge it using the battery charger (sold separately) and use it over and over again. They last a long time, so they are convenient for travel.

• AA Nickel Batteries (available in stores)

These batteries are not rechargeable. However, they last a long time as compared with AA Alkaline Batteries when used with a digital camera.

- Nickel-Hydrogen Battery (available in stores)

This is economical because you can recharge and discharge it, and use it over and over again. Use a charger (available in stores) for charging.

The battery may be inert and consequently it may not supply power immediately after it is purchased or left unused for more than a month. In such a case, recharge the battery two or three times before use. The battery self-discharges with time even if the camera is not used, so recharge it before use.

Note

Indication of the number of images you can take

Battery Type	Number of Shots (Normal Mode)	Number of Shots (Power-Save Mode) *1
AA Alkaline Batteries (LR6)	approx. 120	approx. 130
Rechargeable Battery	approx. 400	approx. 450

*1 The number of shots in the Synchro-Monitor Mode (see P.24)
- The number of shots is based on a temperature of 22 degrees Celsius, shooting at 30-second intervals and one out of every two being shot with the flash. If you set the camera to the Power-Save mode, the number of shots you can take will increase. In addition to the batteries, you can use the AC Adapter (sold separately).
- The number of shots is for reference only. If the camera is used for long periods of time for setting and playback, the shooting time (the number of shots) will decrease.

Important

• Other batteries, such as manganese dry cell (R6) and Ni-Cd, cannot be used.
• Please remove the batteries if you are not going to use the camera for a long period of time.
• The life of an AA alkaline battery (LR6) depends on the brand and the storage time from the date of production. In addition, the life of an alkaline battery becomes shorter at low temperatures.
• The Nickel-Hydrogen Battery is not factory-charged. Charge it before use. Immediately after the purchase or after a long storage, the battery may not be charged fully. Repeat charging and discharging before use. For details, see the documentation that came with the battery or charger.
• The battery may become very hot immediately after operation. Turn the camera off and leave it to cool down sufficiently before removing the battery.

Note

Battery level indication

A battery mark appears at the lower left of the LCD monitor to indicate the battery level. Prepare new batteries before the batteries wear out.

Battery Mark	Description
	Sufficient battery charge
	Low remaining charge: Prepare new batteries.
	No remaining charge: Replace the batteries.

Important

If you are using nickel metal hydride batteries, may not appear or or may appear immediately depending on the battery type and environmental conditions. Check the batteries at hand before use.

Inserting an SD Memory Card (Available in Stores)

1

You can record the still images and movies you have taken in the camera's internal memory or on an SD memory card (available in stores).

Note

Protecting your images from being deleted

If you move the SD memory card's write-protection switch to LOCK, your still images cannot be accidentally erased, and the memory card cannot be formatted. If you return the switch to the former position, it is once again possible to erase images and format the card. It is recommended to switch to LOCK after recording important images.

Note that you cannot shoot images in the LOCK state because no data can be recorded on the card. Unlock the card when shooting.

Note

The internal memory capacity is 16MB.

Reference

• For the number of images that can be stored on an SD memory card, see P.175.
• For how to format an SD memory card, see .P.112.

Note

Where images are recorded

When no SD memory card is inserted, the camera records images in the internal memory; when an SD memory card is inserted, it records images on the memory card.

When Playing Back

Synchro Monitor Mode

In Synchro Monitor mode, the LCD monitor is kept off (no display) except during the following camera operations. This mode is effective for saving power consumption.

Half-press the shutter button.	The LCD Monitor is tuned on and you can confirm composition. After you finish shooting with Full-Press, the LCD Monitor will automatically turn off.
Press the (Quick Review) button.	You can view the photo you just took (see P.84). By pressing the (Quick Review) button again, you can turn the LCD Monitor off.
Press the MENU button.	The LCD Monitor Display is turned on and you can make various settings for shooting (see P.27). By pressing the MENU button again, you can turn the LCD Monitor off.
ADJ. Button.	The LCD Monitor Display is turned on and you can make settings for exposure control, white balance, and ISO sensitivity (see P.60, P.62, and P.65). Pressing the OK button turns the LCD Monitor off.

Histogram Display

When histogram display is on, a histogram appears in the lower right corner on the LCD monitor screen.

Game interface screenshot showing a landscape scene with mountains, water, and a pixelated black-and-white graphic (no readable text or symbols)

A histogram is a graph indicating the number of pixels on the vertical axis and the brightness on the horizontal axis. The brightness is shadow (dark), halftone, and highlight (light) from the left. By using the histogram, you can judge the brightness of an image without being affected by the brightness around the LCD monitor. This also helps preventing voids and solids.

If the histogram has only peaks on the right side without anything else, this picture is over-exposed with too many pixels only for highlight sections.

If the histogram has only peaks on the left side without anything else, this picture is under-exposed with too many pixels only for shadow sections.

Correct the exposure to an appropriate level.

Illustration of two people in a meeting room with shelves and bottles in the background (no visible text or symbols)

Reference

For details about exposure correction, see P.60.

Note

• The histogram displayed on the LCD monitor is for reference only. Depending on the shooting condition (flashing is required, the surrounding light is dark, and so on), the exposure level indicated in the histogram may not correspond to the brightness of the shot image.
• Exposure compensation has its limitation. It does not necessarily achieve the best possible result.
• The histogram having peaks in the center part does not necessarily provide the best result to suit your particular requirements.
  For example, an adjustment is required if you want to intentionally achieve under or over exposure.

Section 2 Basic Shooting

The basics of shooting are explained here, from how to hold your camera to how to shoot still images and movies.

2

How to Hold the Camera

If the camera moves when you press the shutter button, the still image might not come out clearly (due to camera shake). The 🎨 mark displayed on the LCD monitor indicates that camera shake should be avoided under the current shooting condition. Hold the camera as illustrated below for best results.

1. Hold the camera with both hands and lightly press both elbows against your body.

Simple line drawing of a person holding a camera (no text or symbols)

1. Put your finger on the shutter button.

Illustration of hands holding a camera with a blue arrow indicating compression (no text or symbols)

Note

• Be careful when you are shooting not to get a finger, your hair, or the strap in front of the lens or the flash.
  • To prevent camera shake, hold the camera securely with both hands when you shoot or use a tripod.
• Consider using a tripod to prevent camera shake in the following situations:
• When shooting in a dark place, if you do not use the flash or if you use the Slow Synchro mode.
• When you shoot with the zoom.

How to Focus

The area displayed on the LCD Monitor is shot as a still image or a movie.

When adjusting focus, press the shutter button halfway (half-press).

To adjust focus, follow the steps below.

1. Point the lens toward the subject you want to shoot.
2. Compose the picture on the LCD Monitor.
3. The focus is set at the center of the screen, so use the screen to center your subject.

Illustration of a scenic landscape with mountains, a lake, and a boat (no text or symbols)

1. Half-press the shutter button.

The f-stop (aperture size) and shutter speed are displayed in the bottom part of the screen, and the camera focuses. Once the shot is in focus, the exposure and white balance are fixed and the crosshair in the center of the LCD Monitor turns green, as does the auto-focus lamp in the lower left of the Viewfinder. Check one of these to make sure the subject is in focus.

Game interface screenshot showing a landscape scene with mountains, a lake, and a ship (no readable text or symbols)

If the camera cannot automatically focus, the crosshairs in the center of the LCD monitor turn red and the auto-focus lamp in the lower left of the viewfinder blinks in green.

	Color of crosshairs		Auto focus lamp
Before focusing		White	○	Off
Focused		Green	●	On (green)
Failed to focus		Blink (red)	●	Blink (green)

ing on the shooting distance. To check the focusing or the shooting range accurately before shooting, please use the LCD monitor.

Reference

If the subject is not centered on your composition, see P.40.

Note

• When the grid appears, the crosshairs do not appear in the middle of the LCD monitor. With the auto focus lamp, check that the shot is in focus.
• There is another shooting method, which is to fully press the shutter once, without using the half-press method. Full-press shooting is good for capturing the moment. However, you cannot check that your shot is in focus while shooting. (see P.39)
• You can use the battery for a longer period of time by using the viewfinder and shooting in power-save mode (see P.118). In this mode, however, you cannot check the focus on the LCD monitor. Instead, observe the auto focus lamp (in the lower left of the viewfinder), which lights up in green when the shot is in focus. The range visible through the viewfinder and that being shot may deviate a little bit, depend-

Shooting Still Images

When taking still images, Shooting Mode is usually used.

There are two methods of using the shutter button, pressing the shutter in two stages (half-press) and pressing it all the way down at once (full-press).

When you use half-press, you can confirm that your shot is in focus on the LCD Monitor. When you want to capture the moment, full-press is convenient.

Note

• When shooting in Aperture Priority/Manual Exposure Mode, the f-number (aperture value) and shutter speed remain displayed in the bottom part on the screen. According to the f-number, the shutter speed is determined for shooting.
• In Aperture Priority/Manual Exposure Mode, you can also set the shutter speed manually for shooting (Manual Exposure Mode).

Reference

• For how to shoot with Zoom, see P.46
• For how to shoot Close-ups, see P.48.
- For how to shoot with Aperture Priority/Manual Exposure Mode, see P.55.

Checking the Focus and Shooting (Half-press)

1. Turn the mode dial to 📄 (Shooting Mode) or A/M (Aperture Priority/Manual Exposure Mode).
2. Compose your shot either by looking through the Viewfinder or at the LCD Monitor.

3. Put the subject of your photo right in the center and press the shutter button half-way.

Illustration of a scenic landscape with mountains, water, and a boat on the river (no text or symbols)

The f-stop (aperture size) and shutter speed are displayed in the bottom part of the screen, and the camera focuses.

Once the shot is in focus, the exposure and white balance are fixed and the crosshair in the center of the LCD Monitor turns green, as does the auto-focus lamp in the lower left of the Viewfinder. Check one of these to make sure the subject is in focus.

4. Gently press the shutter button all the way.

The still image you have taken freezes for a moment on the LCD Monitor and is recorded.

Hand pressing down on a device with a blue arrow indicating downward motion (no text or symbols)

Note

• To prevent blurring, press the shutter release button gently.
• The 🎨 mark indicates that blurring may occur. Secure the camera firmly and adjust the focus again.
• When shooting in a dark place, the AF auxiliary lamp may flash to raise the focusing performance. If the flash is switched to off, the AF auxiliary lamp does not flash.
• When the image confirmation time is set to OFF, the still image you have taken does not appear on the LCD Monitor. See P.115.

Capturing the Moment Shooting (Full-press)

1. Turn the mode dial to 📄 (Shooting Mode) or A/M (Aperture Priority/Manual Exposure Mode).
2. Compose your shot either by looking through the Viewfinder or at the LCD Monitor.
3. Put the subject of your photo right in the center and press the shutter button all the way.

After the camera focuses automatically, the still image is taken and recorded.

Game interface screenshot showing a landscape scene with mountains, water, and a castle (no readable text or symbols)

Note

Certain subjects are hard to bring into focus:

It may be impossible to bring the following subjects into focus.

• Subjects lacking contrast (the sky, a white wall, the hood of a car, etc.)
• Flat two-dimensional objects with only horizontal lines and no significant protrusions.
• Quickly moving objects.
• Things in poorly lit places.
• Areas with strong backlighting, or reflections.
• Things that flicker, such as fluorescent lights.

When you want to shoot subjects like this, first focus on an object the same distance as your subject and then shoot. (see P.40)

If you find it difficult to focus the camera, it is recommended to half press the shutter release button before shooting. Depending on the circumstances, also use the flash and focus lock.

Using the Flash

If you press the 4 (Flash) button, you can switch into Flash Mode (Flash, Flash Off, and other settings). Switch settings according to time, conditions and your preference, and shoot your pictures.

From the front edge of the lens, flashlight reaches about 0.2 to 5.0 m (W) or about 0.15 to 2.9 m (T) when ISO sensitivity is set to AUTO.

You can check your Flash Mode setting by the symbol displayed on the upper left of the LCD Monitor.

Flash Mode Types

Symbol	Mode Name	Description
	Flash Off	The flash will not fire. Use when shooting where the use of flash is prohibited or when shooting with indoor lighting.
	Auto	When your subject is poorly lit or backlit, the flash fires automatically.
	Red-eye reduction	When shooting images of people, the red-eye phenomenon, in which people's eyes appear red, is reduced.
	Forced Flash	The flash fires, whatever the light conditions are, when you shoot. Use when there is backlighting when shooting outside in daylight.
	Slow Synchro	The flash fires with the shutter speed slowed. Use when shooting images of peo-ple against a nightscape.

Terms

Slow Synchronized

When you shoot pictures in dark places and want to capture background as well, use this mode, which slows shutter speed and sets the flash to Flash Off.

Red-Eye

If you shoot with the 4 (flash) in a dark place, people's eyes will appear red. This is called the "red-eye" phenomenon.

Note

• By default, your camera is set to Flash Off.
• The settings are saved until you press the 4 (Flash) button to change them.
• When shooting movies or in Multi-Shot mode, the setting becomes Flash Off.
• When the camera is set to Flash Off or Slow Synchro Mode, the shutter speed is slowed, so the camera is subject to camera shake. Hold the camera firmly with both hands and shoot.
• When in LANDSCAPE of Scene Mode, the flash setting is fixed to Flash Off.
• When in NIGHTSCAPE of Scene Mode, Forced Flash cannot be selected. Also, the initial setting value is Auto.
• If you press the flash button, even while the flash is charging, you can return to Flash Off mode. If you do this, flash charging is cancelled.
• If the flash is switched to off, the AF auxiliary lamp (to improve focusing in a dark place) does not flash.

To switch to Flash Mode, follow the steps below.

1. Turn the mode dial to 📄 (Shooting Mode) or A/M (Aperture Priority/Manual Exposure Mode).

Alternatively, turn the Mode Dial to SCENE (Scene Mode), and select a scene to have the camera ready.

2. Pressing the ↘ (Flash) button switches to Flash Mode.

The Flash mode mark appears momentarily in a large size at the center of the LCD monitor and then is displayed at the upper left.

The flash starts recharging. While the flash is charging, the LCD Monitor goes off and the flash lamp blinks. Once charging is complete, the lamp goes off and it is possible to shoot.

How to use the hot shoe

Since the camera has a hot shoe, you can connect an external flash (available in stores) for use.

Illustration of a digital camera with an overhead flash unit (no text or symbols)

• By interlock with the internal flash, signals are issued to the hot shoe.
• The internal flash lights up with the external flash.
• Adjust the exposure using the exposure compensation (P.60) or manual exposure function (P.55).
• For details, see the documentation that came with the external flash.

To attach an external flash to the hot shoe, follow the steps below.

1. With the camera and external flash powers off, attach the external flash to the hot shoe.
2. Turn the camera power on and the Mode Dial to A/M for Aperture Priority Mode (P.55).
3. Set the ISO sensitivity of the camera to other than AUTO.

4. Turn the external flash on, set the flash to Auto, and adjust the f-number and ISO sensitivity of the flash to those of the camera.

When removing the external flash from the camera, first turn the external flash off.

Note

• Exposure may not be appropriate even when the f-number and ISO sensitivity of the external flash are the same as those of the camera. If so, change the f-number and ISO sensitivity of the flash.
• A flash on the market rarely have an X contact of the opposite polarity. This kind of flash may not only work but also cause a problem to the camera. For the terminal specifications, contact the manufacturer of the external flash.
• Use an external flash of a lighting angle covering the angle of view of the shooting lens.
• Use an external flash basically at a distance where the internal flash is not adequate (long distance). Shooting at a short distance may end in over-exposure.
• Do not use an external flash having a special signal pin. Using such a flash may cause inappropriate exposure or damage of the camera circuit.

Using the Self-Timer

You can set the Self-timer to shoot after either two or ten seconds. If the person who takes the photo wants to be in the still image as well, it is convenient to use a setting of ten seconds; a setting of two seconds is useful for preventing camera shake. Attach a tripod securely to the tripod mount on the bottom of the camera.

To shoot with the Self-timer, follow the steps below.

1. Turn the mode dial to 📄 (Shooting Mode) or A/M (Aperture Priority/Manual Exposure Mode).

Alternatively, turn the Mode Dial to SCENE (Scene Mode), and select a scene to have the camera ready.

1. Press the Ⓧ (Self-timer) button.

The Self Timer mark appears momentarily in a large size at the center of the LCD monitor and then is displayed at the upper left.

The "10" to the right of the symbol indicates the number of seconds. In this case, if you press the shutter button, the camera will shoot after 10 seconds.

1. Press the shutter button.

The flash begins to blink and the Self-timer starts. After about ten seconds the camera takes the picture. About two seconds before it shoots, the time interval between blinks begins to shorten and the audio tone begins to beep.

After shooting, Self-timer mode switches off.

Note

• Each press of the ⚙ (Self-timer) button, it selects a function in the following sequence: 10 sec, 2 sec, Self-timer Off, 10 sec, 2 sec...

- Self-timer settings are released when the power is turned off.

- Pressing the Ⓧ (Self-timer) button may clear the display on the LCD monitor in order to recharge the flash.

- When the self-timer is set to 2 seconds, the flash for self-timer does not fire.

Shooting in Aperture Priority/Manual Expo- sure Mode

When the mode dial is set to Aperture Priority Mode, you can set the aperture and shutter speed manually for shooting.

In A/M Mode, both Aperture Priority Mode and Manual Exposure Mode are available.

If only the aperture is set, the shutter speed is automatically set according to the aperture (Aperture Priority Mode). I

If the shutter speed is also set, you can take pictures with the shutter speed and the aperture set at the time of shutter speed setting (Manual Exposure Mode).

The aperture can be selected from Open, Half, and Minimum.

The shutter speed can be selected from 1/2000, 1/1000, 1/500, 1/250, 1/125, 1/30, 1/15, 1/8, 1/4, 1/2, 1, 2, 4, 8, 15, and 30 seconds.

Lowering the aperture value (f-number) blurs the background and highlights the object. Increasing the aperture value makes the focus clear for both near and far objects. Increasing the shutter speed allows you to take a picture as if a quick-moving object were stopped momentarily. Lowering the shutter speed allows you to shoot the track of a moving object because any motion can be expressed as a flow.

The up/down dial is useful for setting in Aperture Priority Mode.

Note

• The actual aperture value depends on the zoom position.
• The diaphragm is driven when the shutter release button is fully depressed.

Changing the Exposure (EXPOSURE COMP.)

The exposure setting allows you to select brightness levels for your shots.

Normally, if your subject is centered, back-light compensation is automatically activated, and you can shoot with correct exposure. However, in the following cases, or when you intentionally want to change the exposure, you can change the exposure setting.

Setting the level higher (+) makes pictures brighter and lower (-) makes pictures darker.

Examples of Exposure Compensation

For Backlighting

When the background is particularly bright, the subject will be dark (under-exposure).

When your subject is whitish

When you photograph a subject that is mainly white, it will turn out entirely dark, with people appearing dark, and white objects appearing grayish.

When your subject is darkish

When you photograph a subject that is mainly dark, it will turn out entirely bright (over-exposure), with people appearing white, and black objects appearing grayish. The same happens when you take photos of people in a spotlight.

Sensitivity Settings (ISO SETTING)

The ISO sensitivity indicates how sensitive to light the film is. A greater value means higher sensitivity. High sensitivity is suitable for shooting an object in a dark place or moving fast and suppresses blurring. However, the images become rough.

A digital camera can automatically vary the sensitivity (AUTO).

Usually use your camera in the AUTO mode.

ISO sensitivity can be selected from seven levels (AUTO, ISO64, ISO100, ISO200, ISO400, ISO800, and ISO1600).

In AUTO mode, the sensitivity is ISO160 with flash or ISO125 without flash. The ISO sensitivity can be set by using the ADJ. Button or using the Shooting Menu.

Note

• By default, your camera is set to OFF.
• When shooting in a dark place without using the flash, raising the sensitivity enables you to give a subject more brightness.
• If you increase the ISO Sensitivity, it becomes possible to shoot under low light conditions, but your pictures may become grainy. The higher the ISO Sensitivity, the grainier your pictures are likely to become, so it is necessary to exercise caution.

Choosing Picture Quality Mode/Image Size (PIC QUALITY/SIZE)

The size of a stored still image and movie files depends on picture quality and size settings.

About Picture Quality Mode

3

When still images and movies are saved as image files, the image data is saved in a compressed file.

Picture Quality Mode specifies the compression ratio to use.

Picture Quality Mode is provided in three types; N (Normal), F (Fine), and NC (Non-compressed).

Normal Mode

The compression ratio is high, resulting in a small file. Normally, shooting is done in this mode.

Fine Mode

The compression ratio is low, resulting in a large file, but the picture quality is better than in Normal Mode.

NC Mode

Image data is saved in a non-compressed TIFF file. This ensures clearer pictures than F2592 and N2592. However, the file size becomes larger and the recording time at shooting becomes longer.

About Image Size

Image size relates to how large the image is. A small image is best for sending via email and using on Web sites. When printing pictures, choose the larger size to obtain better results.

Note

• Picture quality settings cannot be made for movies.
- The image sizes that can be set differ for still images and movies.

F. Using Your Camera Abroad

The AC Adapter

• Can be used in regions with a current of 120V, 50Hz/60Hz.
• If you are going to travel to a country that uses a different shaped wall outlet/plug, please consult your travel agent on a plug Adapter suitable for wall outlets in your country of destination.

The Warranty

• This product is for domestic use. The warranty is only valid domestically.
• In the unlikely event that a failure or breakdown should occur while abroad, please be aware there is no after-sales service or compensation for repairs.

Using Playback on a Television in other Regions

• Playback is possible on televisions (or monitors) equipped with a video input terminal. Please use the video cable provided.
• This camera is compatible with both NTSC and PAL television formats. Switch the video format on the camera to match the television environment in the region.
• When you go overseas, set your camera to the local video format.

G. Cautions on Use

• Be sure not to drop or apply any sudden force to the camera.
• Firing the flash consecutively may heat the firing unit. Do not fire it consecutively more than necessary.
• Do not fire the flash near eyes, or view the sun or other strong light directly through the view-finder. It could cause visual impairment (particularly for infants).
• Do not fire the flash near the driver of a vehicle to avoid causing accidents.
• The batteries may become hot after extended use. Touching the batteries immediately after use could result in burns to your fingers.
• If the LCD monitor or panel is exposed to sunlight, they may become washed out and images may become hard to view.
• The LCD monitor and panel may contain some pixels that do not remain lit up continually in part or at all. Also, the brightness may become uneven because of the characteristics of LCDs. These are not failures.
• While you are carrying the camera, be careful not to hit it against other objects.
• In an environment where the temperature changes suddenly, condensation may occur in the camera, resulting in troubles such as fogging of the glass surface or malfunctions of the camera. If this occurs, place the camera in a bag to slow the temperature change as much as possible. Take it out of the bag after the temperature difference from the atmosphere has decreased a fairly small amount.

Note

Conditions in which condensation may easily occur:

• When the camera is moved to an environment where the temperature differs greatly.
  • In humid places
• In a room immediately after being heated, or when the camera is exposed directly to cooled air from an air-conditioner or another similar appliance.

H. Care and Storage

Care

• Please note that if fingerprints, dirt, etc. get onto the lens, picture quality will suffer.
• When dust or dirt does get on the lens, do not touch it directly with your fingers, either use a blower (available in stores) to blow it off, or a soft cloth to gently dust it off.
  • After use at the beach or around chemicals, wipe it off particularly carefully.
• There are high voltage circuits in this camera. As this is dangerous, do not dismantle this camera under any circumstances.
• Do not get volatile substances, such as thinner, benzene, or pesticides on your camera. This may cause a change in quality, paint may peel, etc.
• As the surface of the LCD Monitor is easily scratched, do not rub hard objects against it.
• Please clean the surface of the LCD Monitor with solvents available on the market specially for cleaning LCD display surfaces. Gently wipe with a soft cloth dampened with a little cleaner.

Storage

• Please avoid storing your camera in the following kinds of places, as breakdown may result. In high heat and humidity, or where there is severe change in temperature or humidity. Places with a lot of dust, dirt or sand.
  Places with severe vibration.
  In places of direct contact with vinyl products, rubber or chemicals, such as insect repellent, etc.
  Places with strong magnetic fields (monitors, next to strong magnets, etc.).

- If you are using a battery or batteries, remove them if you are not going to use the camera for a long period of time.
