Batteries
To extend the use of the camera, we strongly recommend that you only use the following
types of batteries:
• AA Nickel battery (not rechargeable) : ZR6G (Toshiba “Giga Energy”)
• AA Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMh) battery (Rechargeable) : TH-3 (Toshiba)
• AA Lithium battery (Not Rechargeable)
• New model Lithium battery (Not Rechargeable) : CR-V3
Use Toshiba “Giga Energy” AA Nickel batteries.
“GigaEnergy” batteries are next generation batteries which are optimum for use in digital
still cameras. They offer far better performance than conventional Alkaline batteries and
can be used at low temperatures as well.
Batteries Possible for Usage
Nickel Cadmium batteries can also be used in this camera. Due to their negative effect on
the environment, however, when using second generation (rechargeable) batteries, we
suggest using Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMh) batteries.
AA Manganese batteries cannot be used in this camera. Also, the AA Alkaline batteries
can be used in case of urgent need, but they cannot be used in low temperatures. Please
be careful to purchase the correct batteries.
Number of Frames
The number of pictures taken may vary depending on individual brand of the battery,
length of storage since manufacture, temperature and operating condition of the digital
camera, such as flash. Moreover, if the polarities of the batteries (+ or –) and the terminal
of the camera that come in contact with the electrodes are contaminated, electricity will
not flow properly and as a result may decrease the number of photographs that can be
taken. When removing and loading the batteries, be careful not to touch these parts. If the
parts are contaminated, clean with a dry cloth.
When using the supplied Nickel batteries, the number of photographs that can be taken
are shown as below.
Conditions: Flash use rate 100%
Photography interval: 1 frame every 0 seconds
Number of frames: 00 frames
The number of frames shown above is a reference value.
Method of Extending Battery Life
Even if the switch of the camera is turned off, the battery power is slightly consumed. We
strongly recommend to remove the batteries when the camera is not in use for an
extended period of time. However, the time and date settings may return to the initial
settings, so reset them before using. Low temperatures can also affect the performance of
the battery so keep the camera and battery warm by placing in clothes to protect against
the cold.
Furthermore, battery performance affected by low temperature restores its functions
when batteries return to the adequate temperature.
