Considerations

• If you prefer to use non-rechargeable batteries, Samsung recommends a single CR-V3 lithum battery or two AA alkaline, Ni-Mn, Ni-Zn or lithium batteries. When using rechargeable batteries, select two AA Ni-MH or Ni-Cd batteries, or use one of the battery packs produced by the company for use with the camera.
  
  

Speculation

• Battery life can vary depending on the manufacturer. Factors that may reduce the lifespan of your batteries include shooting in low temperatures or using the flash feature excessively.
  
  

Solution

• Be sure to turn the camera off when not in use. Shooting in adequate lighting will help to minimize the need for using the flash feature. A rechargeable battery pack may prove more cost-effective than using disposable batteries; the battery kit sold by Samsung also includes an AC adapter, eliminating the need for batteries altogether when a power outlet is available.
