About the Battery

ª Recommended batteries

Use Panasonic AA Alkaline batteries

(LR6GA or LR6GC) or AA Ni-MH

batteries (nickel-metal hydride) (HHR-3EPA or HHR-3EPC) (We

recommend that you use Panasonic batteries.)

• The performance of the batteries may vary depending on brand or storage

terms/condition of the battery. It may cause malfunction or the available

recording time may become shorter.

• As the ambient temperature decreases, the battery performance and capacity may

temporarily decrease. In such cases, remove the batteries, warming them in your

pocket.

• The battery indicator may not be displayed correctly depending on the

temperature or other conditions. Battery may be empty without indication.

• We recommend turning the camera off frequently while recording to maintain the

power of the battery for a long time.

• When using the camera outdoors, we recommend using new Alkaline batteries. If

you will be using the camera for a long period of time, using rechargeable Ni-MH

batteries is more practical.

• The exhausted batteries may recover the performance when they are left for some

period of time. However, they cannot be used for a long time. Be sure to replace

with new batteries.

Batteries that should not be used

• If the batteries listed above are used, improper operation can result and the

following malfunctions can occur;

• Remaining battery time may not be displayed accurately.

• Camera may turn off prematurely.

• Data written to Memory Card can be damaged resulting in the loss of photos.

Batteries that remaining battery life is not displayed correctly

• The remaining battery life of the Nickel Manganese battery may be displayed as

full on the battery indicator [ ] because of its characteristics even if it is

considerably consumed. Moreover, the camera may be turned off with the

indication on the battery indicator full [ ] without warning. This is not a

malfunction.
