Inserting and changing the batteries
1. Unscrew the battery compartment cover (2)
anticlockwise.
Note:
A second battery compartment cover is included
with the camera. In contrast to the corrugated
edge of the one shown in the figures, this one
has a slit, which allows it to be unscrewed and
screwed on using a coin.
