    Since digital cameras consume batteries
    very quickly, what type of battery can I use as an alternate?


    Digital cameras consume batteries very quickly. We recommend using
    Replacement nickel metal hydride batteries, as opposed to alkaline
    batteries. NiMH batteries will give you more pictures per charge
    and can be recharged hundreds of times, unlike alkaline batteries.


    What steps should I take to make sure
    to get the full capacity out of my Ni-Mh batteries?


    To help your new NiMH batteries reach their full capacity and performance,
    fully charge and then fully discharge it at least once every two
    to three weeks. Do not leave the battery dormant for long periods
    of time. If a battery has not been used for a long period of time,
    perform the new camera batteries break in procedure as described above. Also,
    consider investing in two sets of Replacement batteries so you'll
    always have spares.


    Tips to conserve battery power.

    Here are some battery tips for conserving power. Limit the use of
    LCD and use the viewfinder whenever possible to frame a picture.
    And check the picture in the LCD only when there is a question of
    whether or not you got the shot. Rather than using the auto shutoff,
    manually turn off your camera. This will save a significant amount
    of battery power. When transferring pictures from your camera to
    computer, power your camera from the wall socket instead of the
    batteries. This can be especially useful when you're downloading
    photos or viewing them on your camera's screen.
