A Managing Batteries

Your camera uses either a rechargeable HP Photosmart R07 Lithium Ion battery for HP Photosmart R-series cameras (L1812A/L1812B), or a disposable Duracell® CP1 battery.

Top Points About Batteries

•New rechargeable batteries are shipped partially charged. Lithium Ion rechargeable batteries must be fully charged before first use or if unused for more than 2 months.

•If you do not intend to use your camera for extended periods of time (more than two months), HP recommends that you remove the battery unless you are using a rechargeable battery and are leaving the camera docked or connected to an HP AC power adapter.

•When inserting the battery in the camera, always be sure to orient the battery as directed by the markings in the battery compartment. If the battery is inserted improperly, the compartment door may close but the camera will not operate.

•You might notice that occasionally the battery gauge will fluctuate with the same battery. This occurs because some operating modes, such as Live View or video recording, consume more power than other modes. This will cause the battery gauge to indicate that your battery level is lower, because battery operating time in those modes is shorter. When you switch to a mode that requires less power, like Playback, the battery gauge may go up, indicating that there is more operating time left in the battery if you stay in that mode.
