My *istDS and K200D manuals are also silent on the rechargeable CR-3Vs. I found one reference to Pentax recommending against them in the DS - it's towards the end of this page: http://www.steves-digicams.com/camera-reviews/pentax/ist-ds-slr/pentax-ist-ds-slr-review-4.html As I said previously, I don't know if its a concern with more recent cameras - I've never thought the risk worth taking given the success I've had with the Eneloops.
