Based on new size-AA alkaline batteries and Canon’s testing standards. Quick flash enables a flash to be fired before flash-ready (p.10).

Using size-AA batteries other than the alkaline type may cause improper battery contact due to the irregular shape of the battery contacts.

If you change the batteries after firing many flashes continuously, be aware that the batteries might be hot.

Use a new set of four batteries of the same brand. When replacing the batteries, replace all four at one time.

Size-AA Ni-MH or lithium batteries can also be used.
