Fewer pictures can be taken with AA batteries than with EN-EL3e batteries. 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 when no other alternative is available. The camera shows the level of AA batteries as follows: Control panel Viewfinder Description - Batteries fully charged. Low battery. Ready fresh batteries. (blinks) (blinks) Shutter release disabled.
