To maximize battery life, you should limit the use of the flash, movie shooting and even the zoom.
The T70 doesn't have a viewfinder so you have to compose all your shots using the large 3.0%26quot; LCD. Try to turn it off in-between shots and limit the time you spend reviewing your images, and don't leave the camera on unnecessarily.
good luck...How can I conserve battery power on a digital camera?I am having a hard time understanding your problem. When you are done using your camera, just charge it back up. Using the camera battery and then recharging it is GOOD for the battery. The electrical cost of recharging any camera battery is nothing compared to running your computer so there should not be a financial issue.
Turn off your camera when you are not actually taking pictures. Download your images into your computer using a flash card reader instead of directly from your camera (downloading directly from your camera is the biggest drain on your battery that you can do to it). If you do these things, you should never have a battery problem.How can I conserve battery power on a digital camera?Adding to Petra_au you should turn off any beeps, auto focus assist lamp and the red eye reduction (you can fix red eyes with graphic editors).How can I conserve battery power on a digital camera?With nimh batteries they all self drain. What you need is a %26quot;Hybrid battery%26quot;. They don't drain like normal nimh. Over the span of a year without being used they retain around 80% of their initial charge.
