I replace the
camera
batteries
frequently.
Extended
Image Display
use for Live
View or video
recording,
excessive flash
use, and
excessive
zooming
consume a lot
of battery
power.
z Use the microdisplay instead of
the Image Display whenever
possible, especially if using
alkaline batteries.
z Use the zoom only when
necessary.
z Use AUTO FLASH instead of
FLASH ON .
z Use an HP AC power adapter to
power the camera when you are
using the Image Display for an
extended period of time.
Camera does
not work well
with regular
alkaline
batteries.
Do not use ordinary alkaline
batteries. For best results, use
photo-lithium batteries or
rechargeable NiMH batteries. If
you must use alkaline batteries,
use high-grade “ultra” or
“premium” varieties (page 121).
The NiMH
batteries you
are using were
recharged
incorrectly.
When NiMH batteries are brand
new or have not been used in
several months, they will not
reach optimum capacity until they
have been charged and then
discharged (used) completely 4-5
times (page 124).
NiMH batteries
have drained
on their own
because they
have not been
used lately
NiMH batteries discharge on their
own when not in use and when
not installed in the camera. So if
you have not used them in a week
or more, they may benefit from
being charged (page 124)
