(not supplied / non-rechargeable)

Manganese batteries

Lithium batteries

Ni-Cd batteries

If you use the above batteries, we cannot 
guarantee full performance of the camera by 
property of the batteries, such as brownout of the 
batteries.

• 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 dial. In this 
case, replace the batteries with new ones or fully 
charged Nickel-Metal Hydride batteries.

• Do not peel off the external seals or damage the 

batteries. Never use batteries from which the 
seals have been partially or completely 
removed, or batteries that have been split in any 
way. These may cause leakage, explosion, or 
heat-up of the battery, and personal scald or 
injury may be caused. These may cause a 
malfunction of the battery charger.

• Always carry the Nickel-Metal Hidride batteries 

in the battery case. Otherwise, metallic objects 
may short the + and - ends, resulting in the risk 
of heating or fire.

• If the poles of the Nickel-Metal Hydride 

batteries are dirty, the batteries may not charge 
properly. Wipe them with a dry cloth, etc.

• At the time of purchase, or when the Nickel-

Metal Hydride batteries have not been used for a 
long time, they may not full charge. This is 
typical of this type of battery, and is not a 
malfunction. If this happens, repeatedly using 
up the batteries fully, and then recharging them 
should correct the problem.

• If you recharge Nickel-Metal Hydride batteries 

before fully using up the existing charge, the 
low battery warning may be displayed sooner 
than expected. This is called the “memory 
effect.”* If this problem occurs, charging the 
batteries only after using up the existing charge 
will correct it.

* The “memory effect” - the situation in which 

the capacity of the battery is temporarily 
lowered.

• To use up the batteries completely, put the 

camera in the slide show mode (page 34) and 
leave it that way until the batteries are used up.

• Do not mix new and used batteries.

• Do not expose the battery to water. The battery 

is not water-resistant.
