Fewer pictures can be taken with AA batteries (0 396). The capacity of AA batteries drops sharply at temperatures below 20 °C (68 °F) and varies with make and storage conditions; in some cases, batteries may cease to function before their expiry date. Some AA batteries can not be used; due to their performance characteristics and limited capacity, alkaline and nickel-manganese batteries should only be used if no alternative is available and then only at warmer temperatures. The camera shows the level of AA batteries as follows: Control panel L I H (blinks) Viewfinder - d d (blinks) Description Batteries fully charged. Low battery. Ready fresh batteries.
