Powering and
maintaining your
camera
This chapter describes how to use batteries or an AC power
adapter to power your camera, how to care for your camera, and
how to use your camera safely.
Powering your camera
Your digital camera can be powered by batteries or an HP-
approved AC power adapter. For convenience, use batteries when
you are taking pictures. To preserve battery power, use an AC
adapter (purchased separately) when you are reviewing images
on the image display for an extended period of time, or when you
are transferring images from the camera to your computer.
Determining if the batteries need to be
changed
The battery icon on the status LCD indicates the charge level of
the batteries. There are three levels of battery charge: full,
partially-charged, and empty.
If the battery icon shows that the batteries are empty, it is time to
replace the batteries.
Note When the empty-battery icon on the status LCD
begins blinking, the power is about to shut off. You
need to replace the batteries before you can take
another picture.
