Because the performance of alkaline batteries with digital cameras is low, the use of Ni-MH batteries is recommended. Although alkaline batteries are sup- plied with this product, its performance will be limited; only use alkaline bat- teries for test photographs or when Ni-MH batteries, the Minolta external bat- tery pack, or the AC adapter are not available. Fully recharge the Ni-MH bat- teries just before using the camera.
