74 hp photosmart 315 digital camera user’s guide
Note:
When the Empty battery icon on the status LCD begins flashing and the camera
beeps repeatedly, the power is about to shut off. You need to replace the batteries
before you can take another photo.
The life of the batteries depends on several factors. These include:
• How often and how long you use the image LCD.
• How often you use the flash.
• The number of photos you take.
• Temperature conditions (operating the camera at colder temperatures results in shorter
battery life).
To extend battery life:
• When using the camera with a computer or when using the image LCD for extended
periods of time, use an AC power adapter that HP has approved for use with the HP
PhotoSmart 315 digital camera. For more information, see “Using an AC power
adapter” on page 77.
• Limit your use of the image LCD, except when using an AC power adapter.
• Turn off Instant Review. Since Instant Review turns on the image LCD automatically each
time you take a photo, it uses a significant amount of battery power. For instructions on
turning it off, see “Setting Instant Review” on page 48.
