Notes on alkaline batteries

•Alkaline batteries have a shorter life compared to the supplied Nickel-Metal Hydride batteries. The power may shut off even if the battery remaining indicator shows sufficient battery life remaining.

•There is a big difference in the performance of batteries of different types and of batteries made by different manufacturers. This is especially true in low temperatures, where some batteries are noticeably weaker.

You may not be able to shoot in temperatures below 5°C (41°F).

•Do not mix new and old batteries.

•The battery remaining indicator does not display the correct information.

•There is a big difference between available shooting time and available playback time. Due to the characteristics of alkaline batteries, the camera may shut off with the lens portion extended if you change the position of the mode dial. In this case, replace the batteries with new ones or fully charged Nickel-Metal Hydride batteries.

It is recommend that you use the supplied Nickel-Metal Hydride batteries.
