. Alkaline Battery Life
The actual life of alkaline batteries is affected by a variety of factors, including the
battery manufacturer, the amount of time the batteries spend in storage before you
use them, temperature while you are recording, and photographic conditions. As a
rule, we recommend the use of rechargeable Ni-MH batteries, which have longer
lives than alkaline batteries.
• When using alkaline batteries, use of the camera in cold temperatures can shorten
the life of the batteries.
• The PLAY mode requires less power than the REC mode. If you experience a
problem turning on the camera in a REC mode, try switching to the PLAY mode.
