(sold separately)

• Alkaline batteries/Oxy Nickel Primary Battery cannot be charged.
• 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 remaining-charge 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 remaining-charge 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.
