Short Battery Life With My Digital Camera

RE: Short Battery Life With My Digital Camera Post By Sharon,Ky (Guest Post) (01/08/2008) My daughter bought me a Kodak charger with rechargeable batteries for Christmas.I had lots of aggravation with using so many batteries and when you really wanted to use my camera they were dead.This was really a good solution to the problem.She said it was only around $13.00--cheaper and longer lasting than Lithium.

Wal-Mart carries them in the photo dept. I also had owned a Pentax and had the same problem. The special batteries are a world of difference! RE: Short Battery Life With My Digital Camera Post by BABBIE (86) | (12/20/2007) Profile | Blog! | Contact I had a similar problem with my digital camera, now I only use rechargeable batteries, and I make sure I always use the same 2 together, what I have done is I have 6 batteries, I only need to at a time, so on 2 of the batteries I drew with a permanent marker around the positive end and on another 2 on the negative end, the bottom and on the 3rd set of batteries I drew a circle around the middle of the batteries. I have found if I use the same 2 batteries each time and charged the same batteries that I have a much longer battery life, apparently when you mix up the batteries even though they've been recharged they don't seem to last as long.

RE: Short Battery Life With My Digital Camera Post by Noella (85) | (12/20/2007) Profile | Contact My camera has specialized batteries, so I don't know if this helps. But I see batteries that are marked "photo." Would those be any different? You also might check with a camera store. RE: Short Battery Life With My Digital Camera Post by tedsmom (640) | (12/20/2007) Contact My camera came with the added instruction to cut off the viewing screen and look through the view window just as you did with a regular camera, as the viewing screen uses up the battery. I have started doing that, and my battery lasts a lot longer. I use the viewing screen only to delete pictures that I don't want to keep. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. RE: Short Battery Life With My Digital Camera Post By Erin (Guest Post) (12/20/2007) Are you plugging the camera into the computer or tv with a USB cable? Otherwise, every time you watch things back on one of those things, you are depleting battery. Good luck!
