What type of battery does this camera use? Sorry for being such an amature, but does this camera use a lithium batter or AA?

The camera uses 2 AA Lithium disposables, 2 AA NiMH rechragable or 1 CRV3 Lithium battery pack (can be had either disposable or rechargable). The use of alkaline batteries has never been recommended by Kodak. Your best bet, IMO, is to pick up a couple disposable CRV3 battery packs. I've seen them for as little as $6 each. They last forever.

AA -- Original answer. Revised answer - I should have said two AA batteries. Sorry for the poorly worded answer. Since purchasing the camera, I have invested in a battery charger and a set of rechargeable AA's, which will pay for themselves over time. The charger also works with AAA's which I use in other applications.

That one I ordered and I am sending it back as it is way too small for my old ,shaking hands. Camera did not seem sturdy.Thank you. I do want a camera that uses aa batteries..know of any a bit larger than this camera?

2 AA batteries - included in the package. The included batteries are standard alkaline AA - however the camera will work with rechargeable or lithium AA also.

The camera uses four AA batteries. I use rechargable AA batteries in my camera, and they work great.

I use rechargeable AA batteries. ..I picked up whatever was cheap at the local store.They work just fine...if you keep four in the camera and four charging, you'll never run out!

Hello, the camera comes with two AA regular batteries that we use for many electronic devices. You may purchases rechargeable batteries though. NOTE that the camera does NOT come with that Lithium square battery that other Canon cameras use :(

This camera doesn't have internal memory, but I am not sure whether it uses lithium internal battery or other kind of battery. I didn't notice that because the camera was 100% charged when I received it. Thanks!

It's a regular Lithium-Ion battery. It comes with a charger for it that the instruction manual says should be the only type you use with the camera, but I think it would be okay with another charger that fits (but I wouldn't bank on that without some research.).

Double A (AA) and it is best that you use the Lithium Type batteries as they last longer and you get better use out of the camera.

Heey man, this camera use lithium battery and don't have a internal memory..but if you buy a memory card of 16GB it's useful and cheap.

Yes. The battery is lithium. It works great. You leave battery in camera and plug it in to charge.

I ALWAYS use lithium batteries in mine. I do NOT ever use rechargable ones. Right now I am using 'regular' batteries since my batteries died while we were away at a graduation. I will use them until they die and go back to the Lithium. Also, I have had to take my batteries out totally and reinsert (in short - reboot) but it was because I did NOT want it on video and had hit the button in error. I am wondering if it could be your camera.... It would be worth a try just to use a different type battery and if it still gets hot and stops working, send it back.

It uses a rechargeable Lithium Ion Battery pack. I brought a spare one as a back up and its worth it. You can't use AA or AAA batteries. I am happy as a clam w/ my Nikon S97.

It uses two (2) AAA batteries. I would use Lithium batteries if you are doing some long period (interval) photography.
