Battery Replacement Types/Battery Life

We do not recommend or support alkaline batteries. For acceptable battery life, and to make sure your camera operates dependably, use the replacement batteries listed above.

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—Review Mode)

  • Using Liveview (see Liveview—Using the LCD to Frame Your Subject)

  • Using Quickview (see Quickview—Reviewing the Picture 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 (see Using the Optional Camera Dock II). The camera dock 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 4000 (see Print With or Without a Computer). 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.

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.

• For rechargeable battery disposal information, visit the Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation Web site at www.rbrc.com.
