Appendix B: Camera and Accessories Information 106 Battery Life

Battery Life

Caution: Use only AA photo lithium, high drain

alkaline, or NiMH batteries in the HP 618 digital

camera. Do not mix batteries of different types.

Replace all 4 batteries at the same time; do not

replace the batteries individually. Always follow

all of the manufacturer’s instructions on the

battery package when handling, recharging, or

disposing of batteries.

The life of the batteries you use in your HP 618 camera depends on how you use the camera and on

the type of batteries you use. The following table provides estimates of battery life in a variety of

usage scenarios, including:



Light use in Capture mode (image LCD off, no flash)



Moderate use in Capture mode (some use of image LCD and flash)



Leaving the camera in the idle state (image LCD off)



Using the camera in Review mode



Using the camera in live view of Capture mode (image LCD on)

To preserve battery life:



Limit the use of the image LCD, or turn it off.



Limit the use of the flash, or turn it off.



Set the camera to take lower resolution and/or lower quality images. (See “File Settings Sub-

menu” on page 53.) Higher resolution and higher quality images take the camera longer to

process and compress.



Limit operating the camera in cold temperature conditions. Operating the camera at colder

temperatures results in shorter battery life.



Always replace all 4 batteries at the same time. One low-charged battery will reduce battery life

for all batteries in the camera. This is true of both non-rechargeable and rechargeable batteries.

Note: An AC power adapter provides power to

the camera

−

it does not recharge the batteries.



Use the HP-approved AC power adapter with your camera instead of batteries, or use recharge-

able batteries. The following section lists the HP-approved accessories you can use for powering

the camera.
