We do not recommend or support alkaline batteries. For acceptable
battery life, and to make sure your camera operates dependably, use the
replacement batteries listed above.
Extending battery life
■ Limit the following activities that quickly deplete battery power:
– Reviewing your pictures on the camera screen (see page 23)
– Using the camera screen as a viewfinder (see page 10)
– Excessive use of the flash
■ Dirt on the battery contacts can affect battery life. Wipe the contacts with a
clean, dry cloth before inserting batteries in the camera.
■ Battery performance is reduced at temperatures below 41° F (5° C). When
using your camera in cold weather, carry spare batteries and keep them
warm. Do not discard cold batteries that do not work; when they return to
room temperature, they may be usable.
