How to conserve camera battery power?
Your cameras battery life is very important. Without battery power you can quickly become useless. Here are some tips for making your cameras batteries last as long as possible.
Buy the Longlife Battery
Buying an additional long life battery is the easiest way to ensure that you have enough battery power to get you through your event. When you buy a long life battery keep your original battery charged as a spare for emergency situations.
Camera batteries can lose charge when they have been stored for a long period of time. Even if you stored the battery at full charge plug your camera in the night before to make sure you get the most you can out of the battery when it matters.
Use the Viewfinder
Using the LCD screen can be tempting to do when you are recording an event. The LCD screen uses more than twice the battery power than your cameras viewfinder does however. If you are in a situation where you want to conserve your cameras battery power then try to close the LCD screen and use the viewfinder instead.
Watch Your Movie Later
It can be tempting to want to watch the funny event you just recorded. If you wait and watch the event later once your camera is plugged in then you will be able to save your battery power for recording more fun events.
Make Your Movement Uniform
Turning your camera on and off and zooming in and out can take up a lot of battery power. You are going to want to zoom, and turning your camera off when you are going to stop recording for a while is a good idea. Try to keep things like that to a minimum when you can.
Buy an External Battery Charger
If your camera uses itself as a battery charger then you may want to consider purchasing an additional external battery charger. If you have two batteries then you can leave one on the charger in the hotel room while you and your family are out for the day, stop back by in the afternoon and switch the battery on the charger for the battery on your camera. With an external battery charger you are able to have a battery constantly charging and also always have use of your camera.
why my camera error and battery drains quickly
I got this phone for free from a friend and i hope i can fix it because i really like it. It has the following problems: When i try to use the camera, the phone does nothing. If i leave it alone it will return to the operator screen after about a minute, if i press any keys after trying to enter camera mode, it'll display "Wait" then enter the camera but with a black screen, then the phone will hang and require removing of the cell phone battery. If i try to use the snapshot key it will just say "Snapshot failed".
Also the phone drains the phone battery really quickly. It barely lasts one day on standby, or 4-5 hours if i'm messing around with the phone (infrared transfers, music). I know both problems started suddenly in April this year, then my friend bought a new phone and this one had been lying unused since then. I don't have a charger so i was charging the battery separated from the phone, and it took around 30 minutes to charge. Now i took the phone apart and soldered a couple wires so i can connect it to a Nokia battery charger. It works, but it takes a long time to charge. When i put it to charge battery voltage was 3.7v (first red line), now it's been over an hour and it's barely up to 4.07v. That makes me think it's the phone not the batttery at fault, the charger has enough power to charge my Nokia 6600 phone battery in an hour.
My friend says it's probably the software at fault, however it looks to me like a hardware error. I'll be getting a serial cable for the phone anyway, any tips how to flash it?And i don't really need the camera. If the camera is at fault, can i just rip it off or will the phone stop working without it?
I left it plugged into my Nokia battery charger overnight because it didn't want to fully charge (my charger has a status led), and now it looks like the charging circuit of the phone blew. The battery is drained and it keeps saying "Insufficient power to charge". Well, it looks like i'll be doing what i should've done in the first place - wire straight to the battery. It's not really the best way to charge a Li-Ion, but during my tests i found out this battery has a very good internal safety circuit, so at least it won't catch fire.
Battery/charger problems with my digital camera
Well whenever i put the digital camera battery to charge, the LED light doesnt stay red, instead it just blinks on and off, and the battery never charges, i own a CASIO Exilim 7.2 mega pixels.I would guess it is the battery. Suggest you try another.i would bet it is the charger. Casio cameras have shorts in them very rarely but it does happen. and when it does it is most likely with the charger.
Have you ever find the problem ? Was the battery or the camera battery charger?Exactly the same as with a phone.try a new charger.. if that's no good, try a new camera battery.if still the same problem then it must be a fault in the charging circuitry of the camera.simple logical fault finding...
when you faced at this kind of problem then you have to take reviews from camera's experts or any other photographer. try this source http://alatest.com/reviews/digital-compact-camera-reviews/c3-147/. I am not sure but i give some hope from this source because on this site i got many experts reviews before buying digital camera. i hope u can also find solution from this source experts.
If you can't say surely whether the problem is related to the charger or the battery as I am not so tech savvy. But I think you may seek help from http://www.battery-replacement.org . My friend had faced a lot of problem with his brand new canon digital camera few days ago. I had given him the same suggestion. As he followed my suggestion his problem was solved immediately. The staffs over there are extremely skilled and quite helpful to respond and solve your problem whenever you need them. I think they will be able to detect your problem perfectly and solve it if you visit them.
I hope it is plays a part in using our camera,camera battery and digital camera battery chargers and extending their life,bring our life wonderful.
