■ Tips to Make the Batteries Last Longer
• If you do not need the flash while recording, select
(flash off) for the flash mode (page 58).
• Enable the Auto Power Off and the Sleep features (page
44) to protect against wasting battery power when you
forget to turn off the camera.
■ Alkaline Battery Life
The actual life of alkaline batteries is affected by a variety
of factors, including the battery manufacturer, the amount
of time the batteries spend in storage before you use them,
temperature while you are recording, and photographic
conditions. As a rule, we recommend the use of
rechargeable nickel-metal hydride batteries, which have
longer lives than alkaline batteries.

recorded, one image with flash; power turned off and
back on every time 10 images are recorded.

the temperature is 5°C (41°F) or lower.
