About the Batteries
The following batteries can be used in the camera. Please choose
which kind to use according to your needs.
• Rechargeable Battery DB-43
This is a lithium-ion battery. This is economical
because you can recharge it using the battery charger
and use it over and over again. They last a long time,
so they are convenient for travel.
• AA Alkaline Batteries (LR6) (available in
stores)
You can obtain them anywhere, so they are
convenient for travel.
However, in a low-temperature environment the
number of shots you can take will decrease. Warm the batteries before use.
It is recommended that you use the rechargeable battery when using the
camera for a long time.
• AA Nickel Batteries (available in stores)
• AA-size Oxyride (oxy nickel hydroxide) dry
cell (available in stores)
These batteries are not rechargeable. However, they
last a long time as compared with AA Alkaline
Batteries when used with a digital camera.
