Use Panasonic AA Ni-MH batteries (nickel-metal hydride) or AA Alkaline batteries (Optional). (We recommend that you use Panasonic batteries)

The performance of the batteries may vary depending on brand or storage terms/condition of the battery. And it may cause malfunction or the available recording time may become shorter.

As the ambient temperature decreases, the battery performance and capacity may temporarily decrease. In such cases, remove the batteries, warming them in your pocket.

The battery indicator may not be displayed correctly depending on the temperature or other conditions. Battery may be empty without indication.

Nickel Manganese batteries

If Nickel Manganese batteries are used, due to temperature variations, the battery display may not accurately display the remaining battery life. The camera may prematurely turn off even if there is sufficient battery life. The available time becomes extremely short in cold places, so use them after warming them in your pocket.
