Battery Handling Precautions

zThis camera uses AA-size alkaline batteries or Canon AA-size NiMH batteries (sold separately).

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

zSince the performance of alkaline batteries may differ according to brand, the operating time of the batteries you purchase may not be as long as the batteries that came with the camera.

zWhen using the camera under low temperature conditions or over long periods, you are recommend to use Canon AA-size NiMH batteries (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 unused and partially used batteries. The partially used batteries may leak.

zDo not install the batteries with their terminals ( and ) reversed.

zDo not mix batteries of different types or from different manufacturers.
