Extending battery life
z Use an optional HP AC adapter or HP Camera Dock when
unloading pictures to your computer, printing, or connecting
to the TV.
z Use the optical viewfinder to frame pictures instead of the
Image Display. Leave the Image Display off when the
camera is on.
z Turn the camera off during a pause in picture taking.
z Use the Auto Flash setting rather than Flash On or Red-eye
Reduction.
Rechargeable batteries
Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) batteries can be recharged by
using a battery charger, the HP Camera Dock, or in the
camera when it is connected to the AC adapter. Some things to
keep in mind when using NiMH batteries are:
z Always recharge all four NiMH batteries at the same time.
One low-charged battery will reduce the battery life for all
four batteries in the camera.
z For NiMH batteries to reach optimal capacity and
performance, they should first be discharged completely
and recharged four separate times.
z After long-term storage of NiMH batteries, recharge them
before using them again. Battery cells generally discharge
at about 1 percent per day at room temperature.
