    • The battery is located on the bottom of the camera.

    • Remove the battery by placing your thumb on the bottom flap and sliding the release button away from the side the lens is on. (The screwdriver is simply used as a reference point, no screws need to be removed)

    • If the battery is dead, charge it for 60-90 minutes.

    • When installing a charged battery, align the battery appropriately. The positive signs and negative should line up.
