Extending battery life
zMinimize the use of Live View and video, especially when using alkaline batteries.
zUse the viewfinder to frame pictures instead of the Image Display. Leave the Image Display off whenever possible.
zUse zoom only when necessary.
zUse the Auto flash setting rather than Flash On.
zMinimize power cycling. If you expect to average more than one picture every five minutes, leave the camera on rather than turning it off after each shot. This minimizes the number of times the lens has to extend and retract.
zUse an optional HP AC adapter or HP 8886 camera dock when the camera will be on for extended periods of time, or when unloading pictures to your computer, printing, or connecting to the TV.
