Appendix A
•Immediately discontinue use of a battery if, while using, charging, or storing the battery, the battery emits an unusual smell, feels excessively hot (note that it is normal for the battery to feel warm), changes color or shape, or appears abnormal in any other way.
•In the event batteries leak and the fluid gets into one’s eye, do not rub the eye. Rinse well with water and immediately seek medical care. If left untreated, the battery fluid could cause damage to the eye.
CAUTION: Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions.

Battery performance
This graph shows the relative number of photos you can take using Photo Lithium, NiMH, and Alkaline batteries. Actual performance may vary based on usage, battery type, and battery manufacturer. Many additional factors affect the number of photos you can take (see “Top points about batteries” on page 39).
