xRecommended batteries
Use
AA Alkaline batteries or AA Ni-MH (nickel-metal hydride) batteries
(Optional) . (We recommend that you use Panasonic batteries)
• The performance of the batteries may vary depending on brand or storage
terms/condition of the battery. And it may cause malfunction or the available
recording time may become shorter.
• As the ambient temperature decreases, the battery performance and capacity
may temporarily decrease. In such cases, remove the batteries, warming them in
your pocket.
• The battery indicator may not be displayed correctly depending on the
temperature or other conditions. Battery may be empty without indication.
Batteries that should not be used
• If the batteries listed above are used, improper operation can result and the
following malfunctions can occur;
• Remaining battery time may not be displayed accurately.
• Camera may turn off prematurely.
• Data written to Memory Card can be damaged resulting in the loss of photos.
• If Nickel Manganese batteries are used, due to temperature variations, the battery
display may not accurately display the remaining battery life. The camera may
prematurely turn off even if there is sufficient battery life. The available time
becomes extremely short in cold places, so use them after warming them in your
pocket.
xBatteries that cannot be used
The following batteries cannot be used.
• Batteries where part or their entire outer covering jacket has been removed or
partially peeled away.
• Batteries that have “flattened” ends that would prevent a proper connection from
being made with internal battery contacts.
Manganese batteries Nickel batteries
Ni-cd batteries Lithium batteries
Nickel Manganese batteries
• All or part of the seal of batteries are
peeled off • polarity is flat
