LOADING THE BATTERIES

Compatible Batteries
h AA-size Ni-MH batteries (HR-AA) (4)
◆ ◆
How to use the battery
h Use only Ni-MH (nickel-metal hydride) batteries.
h Never use the following types of batteries, as they 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 Soil (such as fingerprints) on the battery terminals makes the batteries charge less reducing the
number of images they will allow you to take. Carefully wipe the battery terminals with a soft dry cloth
before loading.
h See P.129 for other notes on using batteries.
h When first used after purchasing or left unused for a long period, the time for which AA-size Ni-MH
rechargeable batteries can be used may be shorter. You are advised to check the detailed
information provided on P.129 and then charge the batteries before using the camera (within 1 week).
