Raman, I'm not sure how your country handles electrical voltage through your outlet, but you should buy 2,500 mAh NiMH rechargable batteries for any digital camera that needs "AA" batteries. You should probably be able to get get rechargable battery rechargers for "AA" batteries at a local store. But regular alkaline batteries don't hold much of a charge!

Rami,
Sometimes new Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) batteries have to go through a few use/recharge/use/recharge cycles before they develop full capacity. This may be happening with your new batteries. I am assuming that EN-MH1 refers to what we call AA size NiMH batteries and if so they should do the job IF they have enough mAh (miliAmpereHours) which measures how much energy the battery can store when fully charged. As Matt indicated, 2500 is a good amount to have. You don't want to change the voltage - 1.2 for the NiMH and 1.5 for the alkalines is fine.
Hope this has helped. Let us know if you have further questions on the battery problem.
Larry
