Batteries
The DC50 zoom camera comes with four AA lithium batteries. You can
also use rechargeable NiCad (nickel-cadmium) or AA alkaline batteries.
NiCad or lithium batteries perform better than alkaline batteries.
Battery Life
Using the flash and transferring pictures to the computer both require
more of the battery charge. If you take pictures using the flash 50%
of the time and download the pictures to a computer, you can use
NiCad batteries for approximately 100 images and lithium batteries
for approximately 260 images (based on Kodak’s standard battery test).
IMPORTANT:
Rapid repetition of image captures using the flash will
affect battery life.
You can save your batteries by purchasing a power adapter to use
when taking pictures inside and when transferring files. Refer to the
Using a Power Adapter section for information about the power
adapters that can be used with the DC50 zoom camera.
WARNING:
Mixing battery types in the camera may cause
a fire or explosion. Use only batteries that are
all the same type.
Lithium batteries contain toxic substances. These
batteries should be disposed of properly. Follow the
battery manufacturer’s disposal instructions or the
guidelines recommended for your area.
