Power Supply and Batteries Using the AA-size Ni-MH batteries correctly h As a power source in digital cameras, AA-size NiMH batteries are superior to alkaline batteries in several ways, such as allowing more shots to be taken with the camera. However, care must be taken with the way Ni-MH batteries are used if their original performance is to be maintained. h Ni-MH batteries left unused in storage for long periods can become “deactivated”.
Notes on the Media (xD-Picture Card™ and Microdrives) ■ Image Memory Card h This Image Memory Card is a new image recording media (xD-Picture Card) developed for digital cameras. The Image Memory Card consists of a semiconductor memory (NAND-type flash memory) to record digital image data. The recording process is electrically performed and enables erasure of existing image data as well as rerecording of new image data.
