* Purchase these batteries on our Web site at
www.kodak.com/go/dx6340accessories.
For acceptable battery life, and to make sure your camera operates
dependably, we do not recommend or support alkaline batteries.
m To lengthen battery life, limit the following activities:
– Using Liveview (using the camera screen as the viewfinder, see
page 18)
– Reviewing your pictures on the camera screen (see page 47)
– Excessive use of the flash
m Dirt on the battery contacts can affect battery life. Wipe the contacts with a
clean, dry cloth before loading batteries in the camera.
m Battery life depends significantly on battery age, usage conditions, and type.
Digital cameras are demanding on batteries. Not all batteries perform well
under these challenging conditions.
m Battery performance is reduced at temperatures below 41° F (5° C).
Carry spare batteries when using your camera in cold weather, and keep
them warm. Do not discard cold batteries that do not work; when they
return to room temperature, they may be usable.
m Do not allow batteries to touch metal objects, including coins. Otherwise, a
battery may short circuit, discharge energy, become hot, or leak.
