Proper Battery Handling

•Use AA-size alkaline or Canon AA-size NiMH batteries only.

•Never use manganese or lithium batteries, as these battery types may overheat in the camera.

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

•Never mix new and partially used batteries. Always load four fresh (or fully recharged) batteries at the same time.

•Never mix batteries of different types or from different manufacturers. All four batteries should be identical.
