How to use the batteries
h Never use the following types of batteries, as this could cause serious problems
such as battery fluid leakage or overheating:
1. Batteries with split or peeling outer casings
2. Combinations of different types of batteries or new and used batteries together
h Do not use manganese or Ni-Cd batteries.
h Soil, such as fingermarks on the poles of the batteries can significantly reduce the amount of time for
which the batteries can be used.
h The time for which AA-size alkaline batteries (referred to hereafter simply as alkaline batteries) can be
used varies depending on the brand, and some alkaline batteries may stop providing power more
quickly than those supplied with the camera. Note also that due to their nature, the time for which
alkaline batteries can be used decreases in cold conditions (0°C to +10°C/+32°F to +50°F). The use of
AA-size Ni-MH batteries is recommended for this reason.
h Use the optional charger to charge AA-size Ni-MH batteries.
h See P.112-114 for other notes on using batteries.
h When first purchased or if left unused for a long period, the time for which AA-size Ni-MH batteries can
be used may be shorter. See P.113-114 for details.
