Problem
I have to
replace the
camera
batteries
frequently.
82
Possible cause
Extended use of the
image LCD consumes
battery power.
Downloading photos to
your computer can also
consume a lot of battery
power.
The camera turns on and
consumes battery power
while you carry it loose in
a purse or backpack.
Solution
To extend the life of your batteries:
• Always use an AC adapter to power the camera
when you are using the image LCD for an
extended period of time and when you are
downloading photos to your computer (see "Using
an AC power adapter" on page 77).
• Limit your use of the image LCD.
• Turn off Instant Review (see "Setting Instant Review"
on page 48).
• Purchase higher-grade batteries, such as "ultra-" or
"premium-" grade alkaline or lithium batteries. Or,
switch to rechargeable Ni-Cd or Ni-MH batteries.
These batteries are available from various battery
manufacturers.
Always carry the camera securely in a case.
