Extending Battery Life

• Battery life depends significantly on battery age, usage conditions, and type. Digital cameras are demanding on batteries. Not all batteries perform well under these challenging conditions.

• Limit the following activities that quickly deplete battery power:

  • Reviewing your pictures on the camera screen (see Reviewing Pictures and Videos)

  • Using Liveview (see Liveview—Framing with the Camera Screen)

  • Using Quickview (see Quickview—Reviewing the Picture Just Taken and Quickview—Reviewing the Video Just Taken).

  • Excessive use of the flash

• Purchase an optional Kodak 3-volt AC adapter to power your camera (see Optional AC Adapter).

• Purchase an optional Kodak EasyShare camera dock 6000 (see Using the Camera Dock 6000). The camera dock 6000 powers your camera, transfers pictures, and is also a battery charger for its included Kodak EasyShare Ni-MH rechargeable battery pack.

• Purchase an optional Kodak EasyShare printer dock 6000 (see Print With or Without a Computer). The printer dock 6000 powers your camera, makes 4 x 6 prints with or without a computer, transfers pictures, and is also a battery charger for its included Kodak EasyShare Ni-MH rechargeable battery pack.

• Dirt on the battery contacts can affect battery life. Wipe the contacts with a clean, dry cloth before loading batteries in the camera.

• Battery performance is reduced at temperatures below 41° F (5° C). Carry spare batteries when using your camera in cold weather, and keep them warm. Do not discard cold batteries that do not work; when they return to room temperature, they may be usable.

Battery Safety and Handling

• Do not allow batteries to touch metal objects, including coins. Otherwise, a battery may short circuit, discharge energy, become hot, or leak.
