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
!
Change the
Display Brightness
setting in the
Setup Menu
to
Low
, so that the Image Display consumes less power when
in
Live View
!
Minimize the use of flash by setting your camera to
Auto
Flash
, instead of
Flash On
(see
!
Use optical zoom only when necessary to minimize moving
the lens (see
!
Minimize unnecessary power cycling. If you expect to
average more than two picture 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.
