About the Battery
ª
Recommended batteries
Use Panasonic AA Ni-MH batteries (nickel-metal hydride) (supplied)
or AA Alkaline batteries. (We recommend that you use Panasonic
batteries.)
• The performance of the batteries may vary depending on brand or storage
terms/condition of the battery. 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.
• We recommend turning the camera off frequently while recording to maintain the
power of the battery for a long time.
• When using the camera outdoors, we recommend using new Alkaline batteries. If
you will be using the camera for a long period of time, using rechargeable Ni-MH
batteries is more practical.
• The exhausted batteries may recover the performance when they are left for some
period of time. However, they cannot be used for a long time. Be sure to replace
with new batteries.
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.
The remaining battery life of the Nickel Manganese battery may be displayed as full
on the battery indicator [
] because of its characteristics even if it is
considerably consumed. Moreover, the camera may be turned off with the indication
on the battery indicator full [
] without warning. This is not a malfunction.
