Notes on alkaline batteries
• The battery remaining indicator may not
display the correct information and the power
may shut off even if the battery remaining
indicator shows sufficient battery life
remaining.
• Do not mix new and old batteries.
• There is a big difference in the performance of
batteries of different types and of batteries
made by different manufacturers. This is
especially true in low temperatures, where
some batteries are noticeably weaker.
You may not be able to shoot in temperatures
below 5°C (41°F).
• Alkaline batteries may have a shorter life
compared to Nickel-Metal Hydride batteries.
• There is a big difference between available
shooting time and available playback time. Due
to the characteristics of alkaline batteries, the
camera may shut off if you change the position
of the mode switch. In this case, replace the
batteries with new ones or fully charged
Nickel-Metal Hydride batteries.
It is recommend that you use Nickel-Metal
Hydride batteries (supplied with the DSC-
P43 only) or that you use the nickel-metal
hydride batteries supplied with the
STAMINA “Quick charge” kit (not
supplied).
Charging the batteries (DSC-P43 only)
, Insert Nickel-Metal Hydride
batteries into the battery
charger (supplied) with the
correct polarity +/–.
• You cannot charge alkaline batteries
using the battery charger.
• Be sure to charge the Nickel-Metal
Hydride batteries supplied with your
camera before using them.
• Connect the battery charger to an easily
accessible wall outlet (wall socket) close by.
• Even if the CHARGE lamp is not lit, the set is
not disconnected from the AC power source
(mains) as long as it is connected to the wall
outlet (wall socket). If some trouble occurs
while using the battery charger, immediately
shut off the power by disconnecting the plug
from the wall outlet (wall socket).
