INSTALLING AA BATTERIES

Although camera performance is better with lithium batteries, two AA-size alkaline or Ni-MH batteries can be used in this camera. The use of Ni-MH batteries are recommended over alkaline because of longer life.

When using Ni-MH batteries, fully recharge them with a battery charger suitable for complex electronic equipment. Please consult your vendor about an appropriate charger.
