About the Batteries

Usable batteries

AA Oxyride batteries (supplied)¢

AA Alkaline batteries (optional)

AARechargeable Ni-MH (nickel metal hydride) batteries (optional)

One of the following messages appears when you insert batteries for the first time, change the batteries when they become exhausted etc.

[CURRENT BATTERY TYPE SETTING: OXYRIDE]/[CURRENT BATTERY TYPE SETTING: ALKALINE/Ni-MH]

If the batteries inserted are different from the type displayed in the message, set [BATTERY TYPE] in the [SETUP] menu. (P21)

The battery type that is set can be distinguished by the color of the battery indication (blue or white).

– The battery indication does not appear when using the AC adaptor (DMW-AC6; optional).

A: When oxyride batteries are selected

The battery indication turns blue.

B: When alkaline/Ni-MH batteries are selected

The battery indication turns white. ¢An oxyride battery is a new type of

non-rechargeable battery developed by Panasonic.

It has more power than a regular alkaline battery and is suitable for high-drain equipment such as digital cameras.

We recommend using Panasonic batteries.

Battery performance may vary greatly depending on the brand used and the storage life and conditions of the batteries.

Battery performance temporarily deteriorates in low temperature conditions [10 °C (50 °F) or less]. However, it recovers when the temperature returns to normal.

Depending on the temperature and the conditions of use, the camera may not operate properly and the batteries may become exhausted without warning because the battery indication is not displayed correctly. This is not a malfunction.

We recommend turning the camera off frequently while recording to conserve battery power for longer battery life. If you will be using the camera for long periods of time, using rechargeable Ni-MH batteries is recommended.

Exhausted batteries may recover some performance if left for a period of time. However, they cannot be used for a long time. Be sure to replace them with new batteries.
