■ Economizing on Batteries
Use of rechargeable Size AA Ni-Cd or AA Ni-MH batteries is recommended for most
applications.
If a power source is available nearby, you can economize on the batteries by using an
AC adapter (optional).
In shooting pictures, having the LCD monitor display turned off will help your batteries
longer-lived.
