Digital Camera Battery
Tips
Since digital cameras consume batteries
very quickly, what type of battery can I use as an alternate?
Digital cameras consume batteries very quickly. We recommend using
Replacement nickel metal hydride batteries, as opposed to alkaline
batteries. Ni-MH batteries will give you more pictures per charge
and can be recharged hundreds of times, unlike alkaline batteries.
What steps should I take to make sure
to get the full capacity out of my Ni-Mh batteries?
To help your new NiMH batteries reach their full capacity and performance,
fully charge and then fully discharge it at least once every two
to three weeks. Do not leave the battery dormant for long periods
of time. If a battery has not been used for a long period of time,
perform the new battery break in procedure as described above. Also,
consider investing in two sets of Replacement batteries so you'll
always have spares.
Tips to conserve battery power.
Here are some battery tips for conserving power. Limit the use of
LCD and use the view finder whenever possible to frame a picture.
And check the picture in the LCD only when there is a question of
whether or not you got the shot. Rather than using the auto shutoff,
manually turn off your camera. This will save a significant amount
of battery power. When transferring pictures from your camera to
computer, power your camera from the wall socket instead of the
batteries. This can be especially useful when you're downloading
photos or viewing them on your camera's screen. |
