AA = LR6
Of course, AA and AAA batteries are available everywhere in Europe. In these days of global marketing, I would imagine that camera batteries are standard for the same model everywhere.
I find it very surprising that there seems to be a difference between AA batteries in the US and AA batteries in Europe.
