Using AA Batteries
The capacity of AA batteries drops sharply at temperatures below 20 °C
(68 °F) and varies with make and storage conditions; in some cases,
batteries may cease to function before their expiry date. Some AA
batteries can not be used; due to their performance characteristics and
limited capacity, alkaline batteries have less capacity than some other
types and should only be used if no alternative is available and then
only at warmer temperatures. The camera shows the level of AA
batteries as follows:
