Problem
I replace the
camera
batteries
frequently.

Possible cause
Extended
Image Display
use for Live
View or video
recording,
excessive flash
use, and
excessive
zooming
consume a lot
of battery
power.
The NiMH
batteries you
are using were
recharged
incorrectly, or
have drained
on their own
because they
have not been
used lately.

Solution
Minimize the use of
video, especially if using alkaline
batteries. Also use the flash and
zoom only when necessary.
Use an HP AC power adapter to
power the camera when you are
using the Image Display for an
extended period of time, or use
the viewfinder instead of the
Image Display whenever possible.
Do not use ordinary alkaline
batteries. For best results, use
photo-lithium batteries or
rechargeable NiMH batteries. If
you must use alkaline batteries,
use high-grade "ultra" or
"premium" varieties.
When NiMH batteries are brand
new or have not been used in
several months, they should be
charged and fully drained 3-4
times to reach optimum capacity.
Also, NiMH batteries discharge
on their own when not in use and
when not installed in the camera.
So if you have not used them in a
week or more, they may benefit
from being charged.
