Battery Guidelines
‰
Kodak recommends KODAK PHOTOLIFE AA Alkaline Batteries, or 
KODAK PHOTOLIFE AA Ni-MH Rechargeable Batteries for use in the 
camera.
‰
Remove the batteries when the camera is stored for extended periods 
of time.
‰
Always follow your battery manufacturer’s directions fully. Do not 
attempt to disassemble, short circuit, or subject the battery to high 
temperature or fire. 
‰
Your camera has been designed to operate correctly using a variety of 
AA-size batteries currently available. These include 1.5-volt alkaline and 
rechargeable 1.2-volt Nickel Metal Hydride (Ni-MH).
‰
Replace all batteries of a set at the same time. New batteries should not be 
mixed with used ones. Do not mix rechargeable and nonrechargeable 
batteries. Do not mix alkaline or Ni-MH types of batteries. Do not mix 
different grades or brands of batteries. Failure to observe this precaution 
may result in some batteries in a set being driven beyond their normal 
exhaust point and increase their possibility of leakage.
‰
NOT ALL BATTERIES ARE CREATED EQUAL! Battery life depends 
significantly on age, usage conditions, type, brand, and camera. Digital 
camera requirements are very demanding on batteries. Not all batteries 
perform well under these challenging conditions. In Kodak lab tests, 
Ni-MH rechargeable batteries delivered the best results in a variety of 
conditions. Ni-MH batteries are designed for high-demand devices, such 
as digital cameras, and do not exhibit the “memory” effects seen with 
other rechargeable technologies.
‰
If you elect to use alkaline batteries in your camera, you will obtain better 
performance from “photo-flash grade” alkaline batteries, such as KODAK 
PHOTOLIFE Alkaline Batteries. These types of batteries last more than 
twice as long in digital cameras as ordinary alkaline batteries. Alkaline 
batteries are not rechargeable, do not attempt to recharge them in the 
battery charger.
‰
When using your camera on battery power, we recommend you limit 
continuous LCD Preview or Review to less than 20-minutes per session. If 
you are using the camera for longer periods, it is recommended that you 
do so with the camera powered by the AC adapter.
