The following types of batteries can also be used.

You can obtain them anywhere, so they are convenient for travel.
However, in a low-temperature environment the number of shots you can take will
decrease. Warm the batteries before use. It is recommended that you use the
rechargeable battery when using the camera for a long time.

These are not rechargeable batteries, but they can be used longer in a digital camera
than AAA alkaline batteries.

These batteries are economical because you can recharge and use them over and
over again. For charging the batteries, please use a battery charger that is
compatible with the batteries.
