About the Battery

ªRecommended batteries

Use Panasonic AA Alkaline batteries (LR6GA or LR6GC) or AA Ni-MH batteries (nickel-metal hydride) (HHR-3EPA or HHR-3EPC) (We recommend that you use Panasonic batteries.)

The performance of the batteries may vary depending on brand or storage terms/condition of the battery. 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.

We recommend turning the camera off frequently while recording to maintain the power of the battery for a long time.

When using the camera outdoors, we recommend using new Alkaline batteries. If you will be using the camera for a long period of time, using rechargeable Ni-MH batteries is more practical.

The exhausted batteries may recover the performance when they are left for some period of time. However, they cannot be used for a long time. Be sure to replace with new batteries.
