Alkaline batteries should only be used in an emergency. Note the following when using alkaline batteries: iThe battery terminals should be wiped clean with a

clean, dry cloth.

iAlways switch the LCD monitor off (➡P.27) before using alkaline batteries. Alkaline batteries cannot be used in Macro mode, Movie mode or Digital zoom mode.

iThe available shots/time for battery operation are limited. The available shots/time for battery operation vary depending on the battery brand and the ambient temperature. At temperatures of +5°C (+40°F) and below, it may not be possible to take pictures or play back music.
