answer:Well, my camera will only accept non-rechargeable batteries. I tried the chargeable ones, but my camera just ate them up. The ones I use last quite a long time though. One thing, you’ve learned that if you hold the shutter halfway down, it’ll “set” the picture so that you can get the shot exactly when you see it, without the delay that comes if you don’t do that. However, that does use up more battery. Also, a lot of zooming and stuff. What kind of batts do you use?
