What To Do When Battery Power Is Almost Gone.

Jun 3, 2009 Photography, Tips & Tricks

Whenever we go out, DH and I would frequently argue about the camera’s battery. I would normally ask DH to charge the battery then he would tell me that it was still full. And only when we are at the location would I find out that the battery wasn’t full.

So I am keeping in mind these tips from the DPS blog on how to prolong your almost-gone camera battery.

1. Think About Your Shot First
2. Turn Off Auto Focus
3. Turn Off The Review Feature
4. If Your Camera Has A Viewfinder, Use It
5. Turn off Image Stabilization
6. Power Off Your Camera When Not In Use
7. Don’t Transfer Pictures
8. Increase ISO To Lessen Flash Use
The Most Important Tip: Relax!
