2.2 Batteries
Digital cameras are compact devices which use complex technology. As a result, high demands are placed
on the batteries, which must also be compact. Guidelines for the effective use of batteries:
•
Some cameras require a voltage (energy) to store the photographs in the memory. It is, therefore, always
better to download the photographs onto a PC as quickly as possible and to remove the batteries from
the camera when it is not used.
•
Cameras with a flash use a lot of energy when the flash is used. If the camera has a flash, limit its use
and take this into consideration with regard to the life span of the batteries. The flash shortens the life
span of the batteries.
•
Better quality batteries, such as Duracell Ultra, are often more effective in the long run and work for a
much longer period of time.
•
Rechargeable batteries are also useful if the camera is used a lot. Only use NiMH batteries, preferably at
least 1,800 mA (the maximum power can vary per battery type and size). Never use rechargeable NiCd
batteries, because the output voltage is too low for this type of camera. Also, never recharge the alkaline
batteries provided with the camera, because this may cause them to explode.
1. Never throw the batteries onto an open fire. The batteries may explode.
2. Never drill holes into the batteries.
3. Keep the batteries out of the reach of small children.
4. Only use AA alkaline batteries with this camera. It is recommended to use Duracell Ultra or NiMH
batteries.
When the batteries are empty, ask your local authority where you can dispose of them.
Note:
Standard NiCd batteries are unsuitable for use with this camera.
Note:
Do not use old and new batteries at the same time, because the old batteries may deplete the
new ones.
Note:
The batteries should be removed if the camera is not going to be used for some time. This will
save the battery capacity.
2.3 Camera
Memory
The Trust 350FT PowerC@m Flash has a Flash memory.
This type of memory ensures that all the recordings are saved when the batteries are replaced.
This type of memory requires a battery voltage in order to save the recordings.
When the camera is not used for a long period of time, it is recommended to transfer recordings from the
camera memory to a computer.
This will prevent recordings from being lost.
