Important battery information
Kodak battery replacement types/battery life
Actual battery life may vary based on usage.
We recommend using only a Kodak EasyShare Li-Ion rechargeable battery. 
Not all manufacturers’ 3.7V Li-Ion rechargeable batteries are compatible with 
the camera. Damage caused by unauthorized accessories is not covered under 
warranty.
Extending battery life
■Limit the following activities that deplete battery power:
– Reviewing your pictures on the camera screen
– Using the camera screen as a viewfinder
– Excessive use of the flash
■Dirt on the battery contacts can affect battery life. Wipe the contacts with a 
clean, dry cloth before inserting a battery in the camera.
■Battery performance is reduced at temperatures below 41° F (5° C). When 
using your camera in cold weather, carry spare batteries and keep them 
warm. Do not discard cold batteries that do not work; when they return to 
room temperature, they may be usable.
