About the Batteries
The following batteries can be used in the camera. Please choose 
which kind to use according to your needs.
• Rechargeable Battery DB-50 (Included)
This is a lithium-ion battery. This is economical 
because you can recharge it using the battery charger 
and use it over and over again. They last a long time, 
so they are convenient for travel.
• AA Alkaline Batteries (LR6) (available in 
stores)
You can obtain them anywhere, so they are 
convenient for travel.
However, in a low-temperature environment the 
number of shots you can take will decrease. Warm the 
batteries before use. It is recommended that you use 
the rechargeable battery when using the camera for a long time.
• AA Nickel Batteries (available in stores)
These batteries are not rechargeable. However, they 
last a long time as compared with AA Alkaline 
Batteries when used with a digital camera.
