Note

When the empty-battery icon on the status LCD

 

begins blinking, the power is about to shut off. You

 

need to replace the batteries before you can take

 

another picture.

 

 

The life of the batteries depends on several factors. These include:

how often and how long you use the image display.

how often you use the flash.

the number of pictures you take.

temperature conditions (operating the camera at colder temperatures results in shorter battery life).

the type of battery (photo-lithium batteries have the longest life, alkaline have the shortest).

To extend battery life:

When using the camera with a computer or when using the image display for extended periods of time, use an ac power adapter that HP has approved for use with your digital camera.

Limit your use of the image display, except when using an ac power adapter.

Use only batteries that are designed for digital cameras, such as photo-quality alkaline, photo-lithium, or rechargeable nickel- metal hydride (NiMH) batteries, available from various battery manufacturers.

If you are using rechargeable batteries, be sure you fully drain and recharge the batteries according to the manufacturer’s

￿instructions.

Use only batteries that are in good condition. Batteries that show signs of leakage, corrosion, or swelling should not be installed in the camera.
