Chapter 11
Using Your Batteries
� Replacement Types—your camera can use the following battery types:
– 2, 1.5 volt AA lithium batteries
– 1, KODAK Lithium Battery, KCRV3 *
– 1, KODAK EASYSHARE Ni-MH Rechargeable Battery Pack,
rechargeable in the KODAK EASYSHARE Camera Dock *
– 2, 1.2 volt AA Nickel Metal Hydride (Ni-MH) batteries, rechargeable *
* These batteries can be purchased by visiting our Web site at
http://www.kodak.com/go/easyshareaccessories.
For acceptable battery life, and to make sure your camera operates
dependably, we do not recommend or support alkaline batteries.
� To lengthen battery life, limit the following activities:
– Using Preview (using the LCD screen as the viewfinder, see page 15)
– Reviewing your pictures on the LCD screen (see page 31)
– Excessive use of the flash
� NOT ALL BATTERIES ARE CREATED EQUAL! Battery life depends
significantly on battery age, usage conditions, type, and brand. Digital
camera requirements are very demanding on batteries. Not all batteries
perform well under these challenging conditions. For a comparison of
different battery types, refer to the Battery Option sheet that is included
with your camera.
� 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 until you are ready to take pictures. Do not discard cold batteries
that do not work. When they return to room temperature, they may
be usable.
