HP 930 Series - Manual (Page 101)

Appendix A: Batteries and camera accessories 101
The camera uses two AA batteries. Do not use ordinary
alkaline batteries. For best results, use photo-lithium or
rechargeable NiMH batteries. If you must use alkaline
batteries, use high-grade “ultra” or “premium” varieties.
NOTE If you do not intend to use your camera for extended
periods of time (more than a month), we strongly
recommend that you remove the batteries.
Extending battery life
z
Minimize the use of Live View and video, especially when
using alkaline batteries.
z
Use the viewfinder to frame pictures instead of the Image
Display. Leave the Image Display off whenever possible.
z
Use zoom only when necessary.
z
Use the Auto flash setting rather than Flash On .
z
Minimize power cycling. If you expect to average more than
one picture every five minutes, leave the camera on rather
than turning it off after each shot. This minimizes the
number of times the lens has to extend and retract.
z
Use an optional HP AC power adapter or HP 8886
camera dock when the camera will be on for extended
periods of time, or when unloading pictures to your
computer or printing.
Camera is operating on AC power (with full or
non-rechargeable batteries).
