● Tips for Prolonging Battery Life
Use to turn off the flash when you are not using it.
● Alkaline Battery Life
The actual life of alkaline batteries is affected by a variety of
factors, including the battery manufacturer, the amount of
time the batteries spend in storage before you use them,
temperature while you are recording, and photographic con-
ditions. As a rule, we recommend the use of lithium batteries
or Ni-MH batteries, which have longer lives than alkaline bat-
teries.
• Battery life is greatly affected by how much you use flash,
zoom and other functions, and how long you leave power
turned on.
CAUTION!
• Battery life differs greatly by manufacturer. We recom-
mend use of MX 1500 (AA) DURACELL ULTRA alka-
line batteries with this product.
● Battery Life Guidelines
The battery life guideline values given below indicate the
amount of time at standard temperature (25°C) until power
automatically turns off due to battery failure. They do not
guarantee that batteries will provide the amount of service
indicated. Low temperatures and continued use reduce bat-
tery life.

• The above figures are approximations only.
• The above guidelines are based on the following battery
types:
Alkaline: MX1500 (AA) DURACELL ULTRA
Lithium: Energizer
• Figures are based on continuous recording under the fol-
lowing conditions.
Flash turned off
Normal temperature (25°C)
• Recording one image per minute under the above condi-
tions reduces battery life to about one fifth of that noted
above.
