N Important Battery InformationN
G Because different brands of alkaline batteries have
different capacities, the life of some batteries (the length
of time for which they can be used) may be considerably
shorter than that of the alkaline batteries supplied with
this camera.
G It is a characteristic of alkaline batteries in particular that
the life of the battery is shorter at low temperatures
(+10°C or below).
G Do not use lithium or manganese batteries in your
FinePix2400 ZOOM because the heat generated by the
batteries could damage the camera.
