6 Maintaining your camera

This chapter describes how to use batteries or an alternating current (AC) power adapter to power your camera, how to care for your camera and CF memory card, and how to use your camera safely.

Powering your camera

Your digital camera can be powered by batteries or an HP-approved AC power adapter. For convenience, use batteries when you are taking pictures. To preserve battery power, use an AC adapter (purchased separately) when you are reviewing images on the display for an extended period of time, or when you are transferring photos from the camera to your computer.

Determining if the batteries need to be changed

The battery symbol on the status LCD indicates the charge level of the batteries. There are three levels of battery charge: good, low, and empty.

Good LowEmpty

If the battery symbol shows that the batteries are low, it is almost time to replace the batteries.
