Battery Handling Precautions

zUse AA-size alkaline or Canon AA-size NiMH batteries (sold separately) only.

While it is possible to use AA-size nickel-cadmium batteries, performance is unreliable and their use is not recommended.

zThe operating time of the batteries you purchase may not be as long as the batteries that came with the camera.

The performance of alkaline batteries may differ according to brand.

zIf you are using the camera in cold areas or for a long time, we recommend using Canon's AA-size NiMH Battery Kit (sold separately).

Camera operating time may shorten at low temperatures when alkaline batteries are used. Also due to their specifications, alkaline batteries may expire faster than NiMH batteries.

zNever mix new batteries together with batteries that have been used in other devices.

The partially used batteries may leak.

zBe careful to load the batteries with their positive () and negative () ends in the right direction.

zNever mix batteries of different types or from different manufacturers. All two batteries should be identical.
