Tips:How do I put more life into my batteries?

No matter what batteries you use, your digital camera knows how to suck the life out of them. But, there are some ways you can help preserve or even extend the power with which your camera needs to function.

Rechargeable batteries are a great way to conserve money and power. Ni-MH and Lithium-ion batteries - both used amongst Olympus digital cameras (type varies by model) - are rechargeable and can be recharged hundreds of times. Cameras using Ni-MH can also function on AA alkaline batteries that when used in conjunction with an Olympus camera featuring a newly-developed long-life battery circuit, will allow hundreds of shots to be captured (using the LCD and flash only 50% of the time). If the camera has an optical viewfinder, you can conserve battery life by shooting with the LCD turned off, and maintain even more battery life by shooting without a flash. Battery life can also be extended by about 3x if Olympus' long-life LB-01 (CR-V3) batteries are used. Further preservation can be achieved if you have a higher-end model that is compatible with a Power Battery Holder. This is a grip that attaches to your camera and gives you the ability to run off of only two lithium ion batteries for prolonged battery life.
