Animated Camera is operating on AC power and is charging battery the batteries. filling up The camera uses two AA batteries. Do not use ordinary alkaline batteries. For best results, use photo-lithium or rechargeable NiMH batteries. If you must use alkaline batteries, use high-grade "ultra" or "premium" varieties. NOTE If you do not intend to use your camera for extended periods of time (more than a month), we strongly recommend that you remove the batteries. Extending battery life z Minimize the use of Live View and video, especially when using alkaline batteries. z Use the viewfinder to frame pictures instead of the Image Display. Leave the Image Display off whenever possible. z Use zoom only when necessary. z Use the Auto flash setting rather than Flash On. z Minimize power cycling. If you expect to average more than one picture every five minutes, leave the camera on rather than turning it off after each shot. This minimizes the number of times the lens has to extend and retract. z Use an optional HP AC power adapter or HP 8886 camera dock when the camera will be on for extended periods of time, or when unloading pictures to your computer or printing.
