Specifications Poer source One EN-EL3e, EN-EL4a, or EN-EL4 rechargeable Li-ion battery or eight LR6 alkaline, HR6 Ni-MH, FR6 lithium, or ZR6 nickel-manganese AA batteries Operating temperature 0 40 C (32 104 F) Dimensions (W H D) Approx. 150.5 52 75.5 mm/5.9 2.0 3.0 in. Weight Approx. 290 g (10.2 oz), ith MS-D10EN but excluding batteries Specifications and design are subject to change ithout notice. EN-EL3e, EN-EL4a, and EN-EL4 Batteries The performance of EN-EL3e, EN-EL4a, and EN-EL4 batteries drops at temperatures belo about 10 C (50 F). Be sure the battery is fully charged and keep a arm spare battery on hand ready to exchange as necessary. Cold batteries ill recover some of their charge hen armed. AA Batteries Due to their limited capacity, AA LR6 alkaline and ZR6 nickel-manganese batteries should be used only hen no other alternative is available. Use is not recommended at lo temperatures. In general, AA batteries have less capacity than other poer sources hen used in the MB-D10; EN-EL3e, EN-EL4a, and EN-EL4 batteries are recommended for best performance. The capacity of AA batteries varies ith make and storage conditions and may in some instances be extremely lo; in some cases, AA batteries may cease to function before their expiry date. Note that the capacity of AA batteries may drop at temperatures belo 20 C (68 F). Frame Advance Rate EN-EL4a/EN-EL4 and AA batteries support higher frame advance rates than the EN-EL3e. For more information on frame advance rates, see the camera manual. 10
