NOTE Digital cameras use batteries at a much faster rate than film cameras. Battery life in digital cameras can be measured in hours and minutes of use rather than the years more typical of film cameras. Battery life may also vary dramatically from one user to another, depending on what modes the camera is being used in most frequently. For hints on optimizing battery performance, see Appendix A: Managing Batteries on page 129. NOTE You can also use an optional HP AC power adapter to power the camera. If you use rechargeable NiMH batteries, you can recharge the batteries in the camera using the optional HP AC power adapter or optional HP Photosmart M-series dock, or recharge the batteries separately in the optional HP Photosmart Quick Recharger. For more information, see Appendix B: Purchasing Camera Accessories on page 139. Installing a Memory Card (Optional) If you do not have an optional memory card to install, skip this section and go on to the next section, Turning on Power on page 12. Your camera contains internal memory that allows you to store images and video clips. However, you can use a memory card (purchased separately) instead to store images and video clips. For more information about supported memory cards, see Storage on page 145. When you install a memory card in the camera, all new images and video clips are stored on the card. The camera's internal memory is only used when there is no memory card in the camera. Chapter 1: Getting Started 11
