LOADING THE BATTERIES
Compatible batteries
h AA-size alkaline batteries (4) or AA-size Ni-MH rechageable batteries (4) (sold separately).
G! Please use the same brand and grade AA-size alkaline batteries as those supplied with the camera.
N How to use the batteries N
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
Outer casing
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.107, 108 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
