Extending Battery Life
Here are some tips for extending battery life:
• Turn off the Image Display and use the viewfinder instead
when framing pictures and video. Leave the Image
Display off whenever possible.
• Change the Live View at Power On setting in the Setup
Menu to Live View Off, so that your camera does not
power on in Live View (see Live View at Power On on
• Change the Display Brightness setting in the Setup Menu
to Low, so that the Image Display consumes less power
when in Live View (see Display Brightness on page 122).
• Minimize the use of flash by setting your camera to Auto
Flash, instead of Flash On (see
page 47).
• Use optical zoom only when necessary to minimize
moving the lens (see
• Minimize unnecessary power cycling. If you expect to
average more than two pictures every five minutes, leave
the camera on with the Image Display off, rather than
turning off the camera after each shot. This minimizes the
number of times the lens must extend and retract.
• Use the HP AC power adapter or optional HP Photosmart
R-series dock when the camera will be on for extended
periods of time, such as when you transfer images to your
computer or when printing.
