Extending Battery Life

!

Limit the following activities that quickly deplete battery power:

– Using Quickview (see

page 24

and

page 46

).

– Excessive use of the flash.

!

Purchase an optional Kodak EasyShare camera dock 6000 (see

page 81

).

The camera dock 6000 powers your camera, transfers pictures, and is also
a battery charger for the Li-Ion battery included with your camera.

!

Purchase an optional Kodak 5-volt AC adapter to power your camera, or
use the one packaged with the Kodak EasyShare camera dock 6000 (see

page 88

).

!

Purchase an optional Kodak EasyShare printer dock 6000 (see

page 80

).

The printer dock 6000 powers your camera, makes 4 x 6 prints with or
without a computer, transfers pictures, and is also a battery charger for the
Li-Ion battery included with your camera.

!

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).

Carry spare batteries when using your camera in cold weather, and keep
them warm. Do not discard cold batteries that do not work; when they
return to room temperature, they may be usable.
