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 8881
camera dock when the camera will be on for extended
periods of time, or when unloading pictures to your
computer or printing.
Rechargeable Batteries
Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) batteries can be recharged by
using a battery charger. NiMH batteries can also be recharged
in the camera when the camera is connected to an optional
HP AC power adapter or HP 8881 camera dock.
When the batteries are recharging, the Power/Memory light
on the back of the camera blinks green. Batteries are fully
recharged via the HP AC power adapter or camera dock in 15
hours.
Some things to keep in mind when using NiMH batteries are:
z
The first time that you use a set of NiMH batteries, be sure
that you fully charge them before using them in the camera.
z
You may notice that the first several times you use NiMH
batteries, the battery life seems shorter than what you
expect. Performance will improve and become optimal after
the batteries have been charged and then discharged (used)
completely four or five times. You can use the camera
normally to discharge the batteries during this
“conditioning” period.
