Using AA Batteries
The capacity of AA batteries drops sharply at temperatures below
20 °C (68 °F) and varies with make and storage conditions; in some
cases, batteries may cease to function before their expiry date. Some
AA batteries can not be used; due to their performance characteristics
and limited capacity, alkaline batteries have less capacity than some
other types and should only be used if no alternative is available and
then only at warmer temperatures. The camera shows the level of AA
batteries as follows:
