Digital photography... and digital camera batteries
Digital cameras are improving at an exponential rate, and the battery performance is expected to improve in the near future.
Digital photography is becoming more and more popular, and the results obtained by professionals and amateurs alike are becoming comparable to those obtained by the best of film photographers.
The one downside to using a digital camera has been the battery life obtained.
What can you do as an amateur to extend battery life?
The easiest tip is to have some spare batteries. If you have a digital camera which uses plain alkaline standard size batteries, you can use rechargeable batteries AND carry some standard batteries with you as a backup.
Remember that rechargable batteries are ecologically friendly!
If your camera has its own rechargeable battery pack... buy an extra pack as a spare. [Please see our previous articles for storage and charging information.]
Erasing poor photographs to free up memory space uses power... a better solution is to keep an extra memory card with you.
Don't mix the different types of battery with each other... so keep NiMH, Lithium ion, and alkaline batteries separate.
Please see the following useful link for research and further information ... Google Scholar.
