Proper Battery Handling
z
Use AA-size alkaline or Canon AA-size NiMH batteries
(sold separately) only. For information on handling the
AA-size rechargeable NiMH batteries, see Using the
Power Kits (Sold Separately) (p. 140).
z
Since the performance of alkaline batteries may
differ according to brand, the operating time of the
batteries you purchase may not be as long as the
batteries that came with the camera.
z
Camera operating time may shorten at low temperatures
when alkaline batteries are used. Also due to their
specifications, alkaline batteries may expire faster than
NiMH batteries. If you are using the camera in cold areas
or for a long time, we recommend using Canon’s AA-size
NiMH Battery Kit (a four-piece set).
zSee CF Cards and Estimated Capacities
(Recordable Images) (p. 151).
zYou are recommended to use CF cards that
have been formatted in your camera (p. 18).
The card supplied with the camera may be
used without further formatting.
