Using the Battery
m
We recommend using only a Kodak EasyShare Li-Ion rechargeable battery.
Not all manufacturer’s 3.7V Li-Ion rechargeable batteries are compatible
with the camera. Damage caused by unauthorized accessories is not
covered under warranty. Purchase accessories at a dealer of Kodak
products or
www.kodak.com/go/accessories.
For acceptable battery life, and to make sure your camera operates
dependably,
Kodak does not recommend or support other
batteries
.
m
To lengthen battery life
, limit the following activities:
– Using Liveview (using the camera screen as the viewfinder, see
page 18
)
– Reviewing your pictures on the camera screen (see
page 41
)
– Excessive use of the flash
m
Dirt on the battery contacts can affect battery life. Wipe the contacts with a
clean, dry cloth before loading batteries in the camera.
m
Battery life depends significantly on battery age and usage conditions.
Digital cameras are demanding on batteries. Not all batteries perform well
under these challenging conditions.
m
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.
m
Do not allow batteries to touch metal objects, including coins. Otherwise, a
battery may short circuit, discharge energy, become hot, or leak.
