Extending battery life
■ Limit the following activities that quickly deplete battery power:
– Reviewing your pictures on the camera screen
– Using the camera screen as a viewfinder
– Excessive use of the flash
■ Dirt on the battery contacts can affect battery life. Wipe the contacts with a clean,
dry cloth before loading batteries in the camera.
■ Battery performance is reduced at temperatures below 41
°
F (5
°
C). When using
your camera in cold weather, carry spare batteries and keep them warm. Do not
discard cold batteries that do not work; when they return to room temperature,
they may be usable.
■ If you are getting fewer than 20 pictures per charge with your Kodak EasyShare
Ni-MH rechargeable battery pack,
(and if none of the tips above seem to help),
consider refreshing the battery pack (see page 11 ).
