Extending Battery Life
! Battery life depends significantly on battery age, usage conditions, and type.
Digital cameras are demanding on batteries. Not all batteries perform well
under these challenging conditions.
! Limit the following activities that quickly deplete battery power:
– Reviewing your pictures on the camera screen (see page 27)
– Using Liveview (see page 16)
– Using Quickview (see page 17).
– Excessive use of the flash
! Purchase an optional Kodak 3-volt AC adapter to power your camera (see
page 87).
! Purchase an optional Kodak EasyShare camera dock (see page 53). The
camera dock powers your camera, transfers pictures, and is also a battery
charger for its included Kodak EasyShare Ni-MH rechargeable battery
pack.
! Purchase an optional Kodak EasyShare printer dock 4000 (see page 52).
The printer dock 4000 powers your camera, makes 4 x 6 prints with or
without a computer, transfers pictures, and is also a battery charger for its
included Kodak EasyShare Ni-MH rechargeable battery pack.
! Dirt on the battery contacts can affect battery life. Wipe the contacts with a
clean, dry cloth before loading batteries in the camera.
! Battery performance is reduced at temperatures below 41° F (5° C).
Carry spare batteries when using your camera in cold weather, and keep
them warm. Do not discard cold batteries that do not work; when they
return to room temperature, they may be usable.
Battery Safety and Handling
! Do not allow batteries to touch metal objects, including coins. Otherwise, a
battery may short circuit, discharge energy, become hot, or leak.
