For acceptable battery life, and to make sure your camera operates dependably, we do not recommend or support alkaline batteries.
If the battery contacts touch metal objects, the battery may short-circuit, discharge energy, become hot, or leak.
Not all batteries are created equal. Battery life depends significantly on age, usage conditions, type, brand, and camera. Digital camera requirements are very demanding on batteries. Not all batteries perform well under these challenging conditions. In Kodak lab tests, Nickel Metal Hydride (Ni-MH) rechargeable batteries delivered the best results in a variety of conditions. Ni-MH batteries are designed for high-demand devices, such as digital cameras, and do not exhibit the "memory" effects seen with other rechargeable technologies.
Battery performance is reduced at temperatures below 41° F (5° C). Carry spare batteries when using your camera in cold weather, and keep them warm until you are ready to take pictures. Do not discard cold batteries that do not work. Once they are warmed, they may be usable.
