References and notes
  1. If continuous mode is what I think it is, this model, if the mode is selected, and the button held down, will take four photos in a row, with a short pause between pictures.
  2. The Energizer model CHDCWB-4 sells for about $20 USD, and provides the charger and 4 batteries that meets the "two 2500 mAh NiMH AA rechargeable" measure. They work much better than standard AA batteries. Smaller mAh values will also work, but last less time.
  3. The camera has an A/V connector, and an A/V cable is supplied with two RCA connectors. One is video, the other is audio. This cable can be plugged into any television, VCR, PVR, or any other device with such connectors. Most televisions, VCRs, and PVRs made have these plugs.
