On alkaline batteries/Oxy Nickel Primary Battery

•Alkaline batteries/Oxy Nickel Primary Battery are not rechargeable.

•Alkaline batteries/Oxy Nickel Primary Battery have a shorter life compared to the Nickel-Metal Hydride batteries. For this reason, the power may turn off even though the battery remaining indicator shows sufficient battery life remaining.

•Battery performance differs greatly depending on the manufacturer and the type of battery, and in some cases the battery life may be extremely short. This is especially true at low temperatures, and you may not be able to shoot at temperatures below 5°C (41°F).

•Do not mix new and old batteries.

•The battery remaining indicator may not display the correct information when using alkaline batteries/ Oxy Nickel Primary Battery.

•Due to characteristics of alkaline batteries/Oxy Nickel Primary Battery, there is a large difference between the available shooting time and the available playback time. For this reason, the camera may turn off with the lens portion extended when you switch the mode switch. In this case, replace the batteries with new ones. Using the Nickel-Metal Hydride batteries allows you to shoot for longer periods of time.
