The batteries
died or were
removed from
the camera for
more than 10
minutes.

batteries
frequently.
Extended
Image Display
use and
excessive flash
use consume a
lot of battery
power.
Use an HP AC adapter to power
the camera when you are using
the Image Display for an
extended period of time and
when you are unloading several
images to your computer.
Use the flash only when needed.
Do not use ordinary alkaline
batteries. Purchase higher-grade
batteries, such as
“ultra” or “premium” grade
alkaline or photo-lithium
batteries, or switch to
rechargeable NiMH batteries.
The NiMH
batteries you
are using were
recharged
incorrectly.
You must recharge all NiMH
batteries after fully draining them
four times for the batteries to
reach their optimum capacity
and performance.
