LOADING THE BATTERY AND xD-Picture Card

Compatible batteries

Use four AA-size alkaline batteries or four AA-
size nickel-metal hydride (Ni-MH) batteries.

◆Notes on Handling Batteries ◆

hIt is recommended that you use same brand of
alkaline batteries as those supplied with the camera.
hNever use a battery when the
outer casing is split or peeling as
this could result in a short-circuit
and cause major problems due
to battery fluid leakage or
overheating.
hDo not use different types of batteries or old and new
batteries together.
hYou cannot use lithium, manganese or nickel-
cadmium (Ni-Cd) batteries.
hThe operating lives of alkaline batteries vary between
brands and the life of batteries you purchase may be
shorter than the alkaline batteries provided with the
camera. Note also that due to the nature of alkaline
batteries, the time for which they can be used is
shorter in cold locations (at temperatures of +10°C
(+50°F) or below). Consequently, Ni-MH batteries are
recommended.
hSoiling (fingerprints, etc) on the terminals of batteries
can greatly reduce the time for which the batteries
provide power.
hYou will need the optional charger (➡P.114) to recharge
Ni-MH batteries.
hSee P.117, 118 for notes on using batteries.
