Never use manganese or lithium batteries, as se batteries, these battery types may overheat in the camera. Since the performance of alkaline batteries may e alkali differ according to brand, the operating time of the batteries you purchase may not be as long as the batteries that came with the camera. 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. If you are lon ng using the camera in cold areas or for a long time, we recommend using Canon AAon AA-size NiMH NiM NiM Battery Kit. While it is possible to use AA-size nickel-cadmium k l-cadmium kel-cadmium batteries, performance is unreliable and their use ce i a d is not recommended. . Never mix unused and partially used batteries. nd use atterie us atteries h rec Always load two fresh (or fully re recharged) batteries at the same time. Be careful t load the batteries with their e ful to l d po tive positive (+) and negative (-) ends in the right o a dir ion r direction. Ne N Never mix batteries of different types or from different manufacturers. Both batteries should be identical. Before inserting the batteries, wipe the battery terminals well with a dry cloth.

If this happens, use the batteries until their charge is depleted before charging them again. After doing this several times, battery performance will be restored. Since storing a fully charged battery for long g periods of time (about one year) can shorten its lifecycle or affect performance, you are orm ded th recommended to use the battery in the camera until it is c mpletely dis ntil completely discharged and to store it at mp etely normal temperature (23C / 73F) or less.

If battery usage time is considerably low despite b me their terminals being wiped and the battery chargers indicator remaining lit, it is possible that the batteries have reached the end of their lifespan. Switch to different, unused batteries. If you are purchasing new batteries, look for Canons AA-size NiMH batteries. Leaving batteries in the camera or charger may damage it causing battery leakage. Remove batteries from the camera or charger and store in a dry cool location when not in use.
