•We recommend using Panasonic batteries.

•Battery performance may vary greatly depending on the brand used and the storage life and conditions of the batteries.

•Battery performance temporarily deteriorates in low temperature conditions [10 °C or less]. However, it recovers when the temperature returns to normal.

•Depending on the temperature and the conditions of use, the camera may not operate properly and the batteries may become exhausted without warning because the battery indication is

not displayed correctly. This is not a malfunction.

•We recommend turning the camera off frequently while recording to conserve battery power for longer battery life. If you will be using the camera for long periods of time, using rechargeable Ni- MH batteries is recommended.

•Exhausted batteries may recover some performance if left for a period of time. However, they cannot be used for a long time. Be sure to replace them with new batteries.

■Unusable batteries

Manganese	Lithium batteries
batteries
Nickel batteries	Ni-Cd batteries

•Operation is not guaranteed when using the batteries listed above. The batteries can leak and the following malfunctions can occur:

–The remaining battery power is not displayed accurately.

–The camera does not turn on.

–Data written to the built-in memory or the card is damaged resulting in loss of the photographs.
