Chapter 1

Checking the Battery Level

Check the battery power level before you begin taking pictures. Don’t mi ss an

important picture because the camera batteries are low or exhausted.

For guidelines on battery usage, see page 70.

1Turn on the camera.

2If a battery symbol appears in the LCD, the batteries are low or exhausted.

If no symbol appears, your battery is charged.

Low —batteries soon need to be replaced or recharged.

Exhausted (blinking) —batteries are too weak to power the

camera. Replace or recharge the batteries.

When the batteries are exhausted, the viewfinder light blinks red for five

seconds, then the camera turns off.

IMPORTANT BATTERY INFORMATION

For acceptable battery life and to make sure your camera operates

dependably, do not use alkaline batteries.

Limit the following activities that can shorten battery life:

mUsing the LCD as the viewfinder (see page 16)

mReviewing your pictures on the LCD (see page 23)

mExcessive use of the flash

NOTE: If you are using a KODAK Camera Dock, keep your camera docked

there for constant Battery Pack charging. For details on using the

Camera Dock, see page 45.
