Important Battery Information

Choose the replacement battery that fits your needs—and get the best performance.

Kodak Battery Replacement Types/Battery Life
Your camera can use the following types of batteries. Actual battery life may vary based on usage.

Included with the Kodak EasyShare camera dock II and printer dock 4000

We do not recommend or support alkaline batteries. For acceptable battery life, and to make sure your camera operates dependably, use the replacement batteries listed above.

Extending Battery Life

Limit the following activities that quickly deplete battery power:

Reviewing your pictures on the camera screen (see page 37)
Using Liveview (see page 20)
Using Quickview (see page 21 and page 34).
Excessive use of the flash
Purchase an optional Kodak 3-volt AC adapter to power your camera (see page 95).
Purchase an optional Kodak EasyShare camera dock II (see page 61). The camera dock II powers your camera, transfers pictures, and is a battery charger for its included Kodak EasyShare Ni-MH rechargeable battery pack.
Purchase an optional Kodak EasyShare printer dock 4000 (see page 61). The printer dock 4000 powers your camera, makes 4 x 6 prints with or without a computer, transfers pictures, and is also a battery charger for its included Kodak EasyShare Ni-MH rechargeable battery pack.
Dirt on the battery contacts can affect battery life. Wipe the contacts with a clean, dry cloth before loading batteries in the 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. Do not discard cold batteries that do not work; when they return to room temperature, they may be usable.

Battery Safety and Handling

Do not allow batteries to touch metal objects, including coins. Otherwise, a battery may short circuit, discharge energy, become hot, or leak.
For rechargeable battery disposal information, see the Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation Web site at www.rbrc.com.
