LOADING THE BATTERIES

Compatible Batteries
hAA-size Ni-MH batteries (HR-AA) (4)

◆How to use the battery ◆

hUse only Ni-MH (nickel-metal hydride) batteries.
hNever use the following types of batteries, as they 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
hSoil (such as fingerprints) on the battery terminals makes the batteries charge less reducing the
number of images they will allow you to take. Carefully wipe the battery terminals with a soft dry cloth
before loading.
hSee P.129 for other notes on using batteries.
hWhen first used after purchasing or left unused for a long period, the time for which AA-size Ni-MH
rechargeable batteries can be used may be shorter. You are advised to check the detailed
information provided on P.129 and then charge the batteries before using the camera (within 1 week).
