■ Disposing of Batteries When disposing of batteries, do so in accordance with your local waste disposal regulations. Using the AA-size Ni-MH Batteries and the Rechargeable Battery NH-10 Correctly h As a power source in digital cameras, AA-size NiMH batteries and the Rechargeable Battery NH-10 (referred to hereafter as Ni-MH batteries) are superior to alkaline batteries in several ways, such as allowing more shots to be taken with the camera.
Power Supply and Batteries Procedure for discharging rechargeable Ni-MH batteries Only use the “Discharging rechargeable batteries” function with Ni-MH batteries (rechargeable batteries). The “Discharging rechargeable batteries” function should not be used with alkaline batteries as it will completely drain the battery charge.
Notes on the xD-Picture Card™ ■ 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.

Explanation of Terms Deactivated batteries: Leaving an Ni-MH battery unused in storage for a long period may cause a rise in the level of substances that inhibit current flow inside the battery and result in a dormant battery. A battery in this state is referred to as deactivated. Because current flow is inhibited in a deactivated Ni-MH battery, the battery’s original level of performance cannot be achieved.
