Concerning the batteries
∫
Types of batteries that can be used
≥ The use of batteries made by Panasonic is
recommended.
≥ The performance of the batteries used may
significantly differ depending on which battery
brand is used, how long the batteries have
been stored since they were manufactured and
how they have been stored.
≥ The performance of the batteries decreases
temporarily at low temperatures (below 10 °C),
but will be restored when the temperature
returns to room temperature.
≥ Malfunctioning may occur under certain
ambient temperatures and operating
conditions. However, this is not indicative of
trouble.
≥ In order to ensure that the batteries will function
for as long as possible, it is recommended that
you turn off the unit’s power during the intervals
between taking photos. If the unit is to be used
for prolonged periods, the use of rechargeable
nickel metal hydride batteries is recommended.
≥ Once spent, batteries may recover their
performance when left standing for a while, but
they will quickly become unusable again. For
this reason, always make a point of replacing
spent batteries with fresh ones.
∫
Types of batteries with which operation is
not guaranteed
≥ Panasonic offers no guarantees that the unit
will operate properly when any of the batteries
listed above are used. Furthermore, use of
these batteries may result in electrolyte
leakage, power-on failures and other trouble.
∫
Batteries with shapes that cannot be used
≥ Installing batteries with non-regular shapes in
the unit may cause electrolyte leakage, heat
generation and even rupturing of the batteries
themselves.
≥ Some batteries sold on the market have part or
all of their jackets missing: Under no
circumstances should such batteries be used.
(Refer to the figure below.)
AA Alkaline dry batteries (LR6)
AA Rechargeable nickel metal hydride batteries
(Ni-MH)
AA Ni-Cd batteries
AA Nickel-manganese batteries (ZR6)
AA Lithium batteries (FR6)
AA Manganese batteries (R6)
AA Oxyride (oxy-nickel-hydroxide) dry batteries
(LR6)
CR-V3 Lithium battery packs
≥ Batteries (bare batteries) with no external
jackets or batteries with parts of their jackets
missing
≥ Batteries whose - electrode is flat
