Sure, why not. This is said only for commercial purposes, as always. They
say use only their batteries as others can damage equipment etc... It's just
that Alkaline batteries will give you very small amount of shots - i would
say 30-40 with flash, more if you don't use it. It's generally best to use
two sets of MiMH packs, so you have one in spare. Anyway, manual says that
you can use Nickle-manganese batteries, which are alkaline ones in fact.
Just don't use carbon - normal ones, since you will make one or two shots
only.
