Replacing the batteries
The camera uses four AA batteries. You can use photo-lithium or
photo-quality alkaline AA batteries, or rechargeable NiMH AA
batteries. You can purchase additional batteries from your local
camera or electronics store.
Note If you choose to use rechargeable batteries, you
must recharge them in a separate device, outside
the camera. The batteries do not recharge in the
camera when you connect an ac adapter.

compartment, slide the
