Just purchased a Sony Cybershot DSC-H1 digital camera.
It came with 2 NIMH AA batteries. The manual says...

You can not use lithium batteries. I have always used non
rechargeable lithium AA's for emergency back ups. Why
doesn't Sony want these batteries used?

Most digital cams need a short pulse of high current from the batteries. I
have not looked at the curves of the lithiums but suspect they will not
give the high current. Many times the standard nonrechargables will not
give many shots either.
