Rechargeable batteries

Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) batteries can be recharged by using a battery charger. NiMH batteries can also be recharged in the camera when the camera is connected to an optional HP AC power adapter or HP 8886 camera dock. Batteries are fully recharged via the HP AC power adapter or camera dock in 15 hours.

Some things to keep in mind when using NiMH batteries are:

zAlways recharge both NiMH batteries at the same time. One low-charged battery will reduce the battery life for both batteries in the camera.

zFor NiMH batteries to reach optimal capacity and performance, they should first be discharged completely and recharged four separate times.

zNiMH batteries discharge when not in use, whether they are installed in a device (such as in the camera) or not. If they have not been used for more than two weeks, recharge them before using them again.

Power conservation

The camera will conserve battery power by turning off the Image Display automatically if there is no button activity for 60 seconds. If no buttons are pressed for a total of 6 minutes, the camera turns off (unless it is printing or connected to a computer).
