Battery Handling Precautions
z Use AA-size alkaline or Canon AA-size NiMH batteries (sold
separately) only.
While it is possible to use AA-size nickel-cadmium batteries,
performance is unreliable and their use is not recommended.
z The operating time of the batteries you purchase may not be
as long as the batteries that came with the camera.
The performance of alkaline batteries may differ according to
brand.
z If you are using the camera in cold areas or for a long time,
we recommend using Canon's AA-size NiMH Battery Kit
(sold separately).
Camera operating time may shorten at low temperatures when
alkaline batteries are used. Also due to their specifications,
alkaline batteries may expire faster than NiMH batteries.
z Never mix new batteries together with batteries that have
been used in other devices.
The partially used batteries may leak.
z Be careful to load the batteries with their positive ( ) and
negative ( ) ends in the right direction.
z Never mix batteries of different types or from different
manufacturers. All two batteries should be identical.
The battery charge is low. If
you plan to use the camera
for an extended period of
time, replace the battery as
soon as possible.
Change the batteries
Battery charge is insufficient to
operate the camera. Replace
the battery immediately.
