Close the battery cover.
When the camera’s indicator flashes green,
do not turn off the power or open the battery
cover. The camera is writing, reading, erasing
or transmitting an image to or from the CF
card.
• We recommend that you use the optional
AC Adapter Kit ACK600 to power the
camera during long usage sessions
(
 p. 97).
Proper Battery Handling
• Use AA-size alkaline or Canon AA-size NiMH
batteries only.
• Never use manganese or lithium batteries, as
these battery types may overheat in the
camera.
• While it is possible to use AA-size nickel-
cadmium batteries, performance is unreliable
and their use is not recommended.
• Never mix new and partially used batteries.
Always load four fresh (or fully recharged)
batteries at the same time.
• Never mix batteries of different types or
from different manufacturers. All four
batteries should be identical.
• The optional battery charger kit (Battery
and Charger Kit CBK100) lets you use
rechargeable NiMH batteries to power the
camera (
 p. 96).
