Hi there,
that's true for Lithium rechargeables only. Conventional batteries are
fine, but Li-Ion rechargeables can really damage the camera if the
electronics is not designed to work with 'em. Would be a bit long to
explain why...

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.
