Using Your Batteries

• Replacement Types —your camera can use the following battery types:

  • 2, 1.5 volt AA lithium batteries

  • 1, KODAK CRV3 Lithium Battery *

  • 1, KODAK EASYSHARE Ni-MH Rechargeable Battery Pack, rechargeable in the KODAK EASYSHARE Camera Docks *

  • 2, 1.2 volt AA Nickel Metal Hydride (Ni-MH) batteries, rechargeable *

  • 2, KODAK Digital Camera Batteries*

  * Purchase these batteries on our Web site at

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

  • Reviewing your pictures on the LCD (see Viewing Single Pictures)

  • Excessive use of the flash

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

• 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. When they return to room temperature, they may be usable.
