Note

Use only the specified AA batteries.

Never use batteries of an unrecommended type, such as manganese battery, as this could damage the camera or LCD monitor and cause them to fail.

Certain types of batteries may become hot after an extended period of use. Allow them to cool before unloading them.

Do not use commercially available batteries that are designed for specific kinds of equipment (such as those marked “For CD players only”) in this product.

When purchasing batteries, read the battery instructions carefully to make sure that they can be used for this product.

Remove the batteries from the camera if you won’t be using it for an extended period of time.
