About the Batteries

Usable batteries AA Alkaline batteries (supplied) AA Rechargeable Ni-MH (nickel metal hydride) batteries (optional) AA Oxyride batteries (optional) One of the following messages appears when you insert batteries for the rst time, change the batteries when they become exhausted etc. [CURRENT BATTERY TYPE SETTING: ALKALINE/Ni-MH] / [CURRENT BATTERY TYPE SETTING: OXYRIDE] If the batteries inserted are different from the type displayed in the message, set [BATTERY TYPE] in the [SETUP] menu. (P21) The battery type that is set can be distinguished by the color of the battery indication (white or blue).
Depending on the temperature and the conditions of use, the camera may not operate properly and the batteries may become exhausted without warning because the battery indication is not displayed correctly. This is not a malfunction. We recommend turning the camera off frequently while recording to conserve battery power for longer battery life. If you will be using the camera for long periods of time, using rechargeable NiMH batteries is recommended. Exhausted batteries may recover some performance if left for a period of time. However, they cannot be used for a long time. Be sure to replace them with new batteries. Unusable batteries Manganese batteries Nickel batteries Lithium batteries Ni-Cd batteries
A When alkaline/Ni-MH batteries are selected The battery indication turns white. B When oxyride batteries are selected The battery indication turns blue. We recommend using Panasonic batteries. Battery performance may vary greatly depending on the brand used and the storage life and conditions of the batteries. Battery performance temporarily deteriorates in low temperature conditions [10 C (50 F) or less]. However, it recovers when the temperature returns to normal.
