Using Your Batteries
 Read and follow all warnings and instructions supplied by the battery
manufacturer.
 Keep batteries out of the reach of children.
 Remove the batteries when the camera is stored for extended periods
of time.
 Do not attempt to disassemble, short circuit the battery, or subject it to
high temperature or fire.
 Your camera has been designed to operate correctly using a variety of
AA-size batteries currently available. These include 1.5 volt alkaline
batteries, and rechargeable 1.2 volt Nickel Metal Hydride (Ni-MH)
batteries.
 Replace all batteries of a set at the same time. Newly purchased
batteries should not be mixed with used ones. Do not mix chargeable
and nonchargeable batteries. Do not mix alkaline, Ni-MH, or Ni-Cd
types of batteries. Do not mix different grades or brands of batteries.
Failure to observe this precaution may result in some batteries in a set
being driven beyond their normal exhaust point and increase their
possibility of leakage.
 NOT ALL BATTERIES ARE CREATED EQUAL! Battery life depends
significantly on age, usage conditions, type, brand, and camera.
Digital camera requirements are very demanding on batteries. Not all
batteries perform well under these challenging conditions. In Kodak
lab tests, Nickel Metal Hydride (Ni-MH) rechargeable batteries
delivered the best results in a variety of conditions. Ni-MH batteries
are designed for high-demand devices, like digital cameras, and do
not exhibit the “memory” effects seen with other rechargeable
technologies.
