• The above specifications are based on Canon's testing standards.
• Using size-AA nickel-hydride batteries will yield only about 70 to 80 percent of
the flashes (1550 mAh at full output) obtainable with size-AA alkaline batteries.
The recycling time will also be about half the time with size-AA alkaline batteries.
