[. . . ] In Kodak lab tests, NiMH rechargeable batteries delivered the outstanding 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. If you elect to use alkaline batteries in your camera, you will obtain better performance from "photo-flash grade" alkaline batteries, such as KODAK PHOTOLIFE alkaline batteries. These types of batteries last 50 more than twice as long in digital cameras as ordinary alkaline batteries. [. . . ]
