Quick Guide
• Nickel-Hydrogen Battery (available in stores)
This is economical because you can recharge and use
it over and over again. Use a charger (available in
stores) for charging.
The battery may be inert and consequently it may not supply power immediately after
it is purchased or left unused for more than a month. In such a case, recharge the
battery two or three times before use. The battery self-discharges with time even if
the camera is not used, so recharge it before use.
• AA-size Oxyride (oxy nickel hydroxide) dry cell (available in stores)
This cell has a longer life than an AA-size alkaline dry cell.
In addition to the batteries, you can use the AC Adapter (P.155).
Batteries (Cells) Not Acceptable
The camera does not accept the following batteries (cells):
Manganese dry cell (R6), Ni-Cd battery, CR-V3
