- Non rechargeable batteries

: 2 X AA Alkaline (High Capacity)

It is easy to buy alkaline batteries. However, the duration for using batteries varies in accordance with the battery manufacturer or the photographic conditions.

INFORMATION

Important information about battery usage

When the camera is not used, turn off the camera power.

Do not recharge the non rechargeable batteries. It may cause an explosion.

Please remove the batteries if the camera will not be used for long periods. Batteries can lose power over time and are prone to leaking if kept inside the camera.

We recommend high capacity batteries (listed above) as manganese batteries cannot deliver sufficient power.

Low temperatures (below 0°C) can affect the performance of the batteries and you may experience reduced battery life. Batteries will usually recover at normal temperatures.

Do not use old and new batteries at the same time. Do not mix battery brands, type or an old battery with a new one.

During extended use of the camera, the camera body may become warm. This is perfectly normal.
