CAUTION |

|
| ||
| varies depending on the brand. Some brands of 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/+32°F |
|
| ||
| to +50°F). For this reason, it is better to use |
|
| ||
| MH batteries. |
|

• Depending on the battery type and the level of charge |
