Use only the specified batteries. (AA batteries)
Avoid extremely cold environments as low temperatures can shorten the battery
life and reduce video camera performance. Therefore Ni-MH rechargeable
batteries are highly recommended.
When you are using a new rechargeable batteries or rechargeable batteries that
have not been used for an extended period of time (the batteries that passed the
expiry date are exception), it may affect the number of images that can be
captured. Therefore, to maximize their performance and lifetime, we recommend
that you fully charge the batteries and discharge them for at least one complete
cycle before use.
The batteries may feel warm after a long period of continuous use of the video
camera. This is normal and not a malfunction.

may be impaired.
Always keep the battery terminals clean.
