Digital Camera Batteries
To conserve digital camera battery power, there are a few tips to
follow. First, turn off your digital camera while you are not using
it unless you are in a situation where you must take pictures
quickly--you don't want to lose a photo op! The viewfinder has
benefits, but uses a lot of power. Whenever possible, keep it off
and use your regular viewfinder for taking pictures. Playback mode
also drains battery power, so if you can avoid giving in to instant
gratification after every shot, this too will conserve energy.
Some digital cameras that take AA batteries will also support
NiMH batteries. Read your camera manual to see if yours will use
these kinds of batteries, as they will last longer and are
rechargeable. Alkaline digital camera batteries can drain down in
less than one hour! You will more than recoup your cost for a
charger and the rechargeable batteries once you reuse them a few
times, so it's a wise investment. Also, compact flash cards use a
whole lot less power than microdrives. Think about your microdrive
purchase in advance to decide if it is right for you.
Recharging Rechargeable Batteries
Realize that rechargeable batteries do not stay charged forever.
If you are not planning to use your camera for a few weeks, know
that batteries will lose a little bit of power each day. Always
charge your batteries before every outing and be sure to use a
charger that prevents overcharging. When it comes time to replace

Another choice in batteries is lithium ion batteries, which are
becoming quite popular. They offer more power than other main types,
and require less maintenance. There are also no memory problems with
it--no matter how you use the battery, it won't "learn" your
behavior and run down faster if you frequently recharge after a
short use. On the other hand, NiMH digital camera batteries, which
are much cheaper, do have memory effect problems, and require more
maintenance. This type of battery is very popular for use in
camcorders, digital cameras, and laptop computers.
When making your decision, take into consideration the kind of
digital camera batteries that are supported. Charging techniques,
chargers, price and functionality should be weighed against how you
plan to use your camera. When it becomes time to purchase new
batteries, we stock a large variety of brands and models to suit
your needs.
