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.

!For rechargeable battery disposal information, visit the Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation Web site at www.rbrc.com.
