◆About the batteries ◆

hNever use the following types of battery, as this could cause serious problems
such as battery fluid leakage or overheating:
1. Batteries with split or peeling outer casings
2. Combinations of different types of batteries or new and used batteries
together
hDo not use lithium, manganese or Ni-Cd batteries.
hSoiling such as fingermarks on the poles of the batteries can significantly reduce the amount of
time for which the batteries can be used.
hThe time for which AA-size alkaline batteries (referred to hereafter simply as alkaline batteries)
can be used varies depending on the brand, and some alkaline batteries may stop providing
power more quickly than those supplied with the camera. Note also that due to their nature, the
time for which alkaline batteries can be used decreases in cold conditions (0°C to 10°C). The use
of AA-size Ni-MH batteries is recommended for this reason.
hYou will need the optional charger (➡P.102) to recharge Ni-MH batteries.
hSee P.105, 106 for other notes on using batteries.
