Problem
I replace the
camera
batteries
frequently.
(continued)
The camera
batteries will
not charge.
Chapter 7: Troubleshooting and support
Possible cause
Extended
Image Display
use for
Live
View
or video
recording,
excessive flash
use, and
excessive
zooming
consume a lot
of battery
power.
Rechargeable
batteries are
not inserted.
Batteries are
already
charged.
Solution
Minimize the use of
video, especially if using ordinary
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. (See
page 99)
Install NiMH batteries. Lithium
and alkaline batteries cannot be
recharged.
Battery charging will not start if
the batteries were recently
charged. Try charging them
again after they have drained
awhile.
