I found this in the technical FAQ section:
"4. Never use manganese or lithium batteries, as these battery types
may overheat in the camera."
Do the new lithium AA batteries (and so many other lithium photo
batteries) really get hotter than other types?

Lithium AA's if manual doesn't specify?
I've picked up a small digital point-and-shoot (not Pentax), and it
takes AA batteries. The manual mentions using alkalines and
recommends NiMH rechargeable AA batteries, but says not a word
about using lithium AA batteries. This is a fairly current camera
(2004, discontinued this year). Is there any reason I can't use
lithium AA batteries in this camera?
no.
