For acceptable battery life, and to make sure your camera operates dependably, we do not recommend or support alkaline batteries.
To lengthen battery life, limit the following activities:
- Using Preview (using the LCD screen as the viewfinder, see Previewing Your Picture)
- Reviewing your pictures on the LCD screen (see Viewing Pictures in Full Size)
- Excessive use of the flash
NOT ALL BATTERIES ARE CREATED EQUAL! 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. For a comparison of different battery types, refer to the Battery Option sheet that is included with your 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 until you are ready to take pictures. Do not discard cold batteries that do not work. Once they are warmed, they may be usable.
