Do NOT use rechargable batteries in your camera if it has a flash,
UNLESS your user manual says it is OK.  Cheap flash circuits rely
upon the internal resistance of the batteries to limit the current
during charging.  Rechargable  batteries have significantly lower
internal resistance.  It is easy to fry an inexpensive flash unit
simply by using rechargable batteries.
