11 Appendix

Using the Battery

• We recommend using only a KODAK EASYSHARE Li-Ion Rechargeable Battery or equivalent 3.7V Li-Ion. Not all manufacturer's 3.7V Li-Ion rechargeable batteries are compatible with the camera. Damage caused by unauthorized accessories is not covered under warranty. Purchase accessories at your KODAK retail dealer or
  http://www.kodak.com/go/accessories.

• For acceptable battery life, and to make sure your camera operates dependably, we do not recommend or support other batteries.

• To lengthen battery life, limit the following activities:

  • Using Liveview (using the LCD as the viewfinder, see Liveview—Using the LCD to Frame Your Subject)

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

  • Excessive use of the flash

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

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

• 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 until you are ready to take pictures. Do not discard cold batteries that do not work. When they return to room temperature, they may be usable.

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