Save Battery Life of Your Digital Camera
1. Most of the cameras these days come with "Auto Power Saving" mode. Make sure you keep it on when you are not using the camera for a while.
2. Always make it a point to buy large capacity powershot sd1100 is batteries. Keep away from the Grey Market stuff. Not just your canon powershot sd1100 is batteries, even your camera’s life will be at stake.
3. Avoid using Flash until absolutely required. Or better keep Flash in AUTO mode!
4. Think before you CLICK! Give a thought on what the resolution of the pictures you are taking right now should be. Lesser the resolution, lower the canon powershot sd1100 is battery consumption!
5. Avoid using the LCD screen when focussing. Personally, I prefer using the view finder since it gives me the real view of the subject I am clicking. If you can get use to view finder, it will surely bring down the battery consumption a great deal.
6. Disable unnecessary settings in your camera like 'Auto Chase Focus' or "Motion detector".
7. Some Digi-cams are known to consume battery even when they are switched off. So don’t forget to remove the batteries when it is not in use.
8. Use the Zoom option of your camera sparingly. The motor which zooms in/out the lenses uses the battery.
9. Its a well known thing that the powershot sd1100 is battery life is shorter in cold climates. Make sure you keep the camera warm as much as possible.
10. Avoid erasing the images from the camera directly.
11. Use AC adapter when you are transferring the photos to your PC. Common sense! Downloading photos to your hard drive is a steady battery drain.
12. Avoid pressing the shutter button half way down when you don't plan to take a photo. The camera goes through a series of processes getting ready to shoot a digital photo, that means huge power drain.
13. Constantly previewing the pictures on the digital camera, is something that we are all guilty of. Avoiding this is surely tough! But its definitely worth it!
14. Don’t keep turning the cam on & off. It empties your digital camera batteries really quickly.
