Choosing a Battery
There are many batteries available on the market today and choosing
the right one to use in your camcorder can be confusing. Camcorder requirements
are very demanding on batteries. Your camcorder has been designed to
operate correctly using a variety of AA-size batteries currently available.
These include 1.5-volt alkaline, 1.2-volt Nickel Metal Hydride (Ni-MH)
or Nickel Cadmium (Ni-Cd) batteries.The table below describes requirements
or the HITACHI battery of choice, if available, in order of general
preference for performance in a digital camera. Generally, if you choose
not to use rechargeable batteries, use HITACHI PHOTOLIFE alkaline batteries.
These batteries will last more than twice as long in camcorders as ordinary
alkaline batteries.
