Battery life depends significantly on age, usage conditions, type, and brand. In general, dig- ital cameras are very demanding on batteries.

In Kodak lab tests, Ni-MH rechargeable batteries delivered the best results in a variety of conditions. Ni-MH batteries are designed for high-demand devices like digital cameras, and they do not exhibit the memory effects seen with other rechargeable technologies.

If you use alkaline batteries in your camera, obtain “photo-flash grade” alkaline batteries. These types of batteries last more than twice as long in digital cameras as ordinary alkaline batteries.

Ni-Cd batteries work well in digital cameras, but they typically provide the shortest duty cycle (usable power) between charges.

Lithium batteries typically provide the longest overall battery life, but they carry a higher cost-per-picture than other nonrechargeable battery types.

While using your batteries, observe the following guidelines:

Always follow your battery manufacturer’s directions fully.

Replace the batteries when they are low. Otherwise, the camera may shut down with its lens extended.

Limit continuous LCD preview or review operations to less than 20 minutes per ses- sion. If you anticipate using your camera for longer periods in these modes, Kodak recommends that you use the AC adapter with the camera.

Dispose of batteries according to federal and local regulations.
