NOTE Digital cameras use batteries at a much faster rate than film cameras. Battery life in digital cameras can be measured in hours and minutes of use rather than the years more typical of film cameras. Battery life may also vary dramatically from one user to another, depending on what modes the camera is being used in most frequently. For hints on optimizing battery performance, see Appendix A: Managing Batteries on page 151.
