PREPARATIONS
Suitable disposable / rechargeable
batteries
The Leica SF 26 can optionally be operated
with:
- 2 NC rechargeable batteries 1.2 V, type IEC
KR03 (AAA / Micro). They permit very fast
recycling times and are economical in opera-
tion as they are rechargeable.
- 2 nickel metal hydride rechargeable batteries
type IEC HR03 (AAA / Micro). They have sig-
nificantly higher capacity than NC batteries
and are less harmful to the environment as
they are cadmium-free.
- 2 alkaline-manganese disposable batteries
1.5 V type IEC LR03 (AAA / Micro), a non-
rechargeable power source for moderate
power requirements.
- 2 lithium batteries 1.5 V, type IEC FR03
(AAA / Micro), non-rechargeable power
source with high capacity and low self-disch-
arge rate.
Please note:
New and used batteries or batteries of diffe-
rent capacities or from different manufactu-
rers should not be used together.
• Cold reduces the power of disposable and
rechargeable batteries. In the event of low
temperatures, the flash unit should conse-
quently be carried as close to the body as
possible and used with fresh disposable /
rechargeable batteries.
• The disposable / rechargeable batteries are
empty or dead if the recycling time (time
from triggering a full-power flash, e.g. for
TTL through a test flash, to the moment the
flash-ready indicator lights up again)
exceeds 60 seconds.
