While it is possible to use AA-size nickel-cadmium batteries,
performance is unreliable and their use is not recommended.

according to brand, the operating time of the batteries you
purchase may not be as long as the batteries that came with
the camera.

or over long periods, you are recommend to use of Canon
AA-size NiMH batteries (sold separately).
Camera operating time may shorten at low temperatures when
alkaline batteries are used. Also due to their specifications,
alkaline batteries may expire faster than NiMH batteries.

The partially used batteries may leak.
z Do not install the batteries with their terminals ( and )
reversed.

manufacturers.

the camera for an extended
period, replace the batteries
