Extending Battery Life
-
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 II (see Using the Optional Camera Dock II). The camera dock II powers your camera, transfers pictures, and is a battery charger for its included Kodak EasyShare Ni-MH rechargeable battery pack.
-
Purchase an optional Kodak EasyShare printer dock 4000 (see Using the Optional Camera Dock II). The printer dock 4000 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.

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