| 624535 | 2007-12-27 10:26:00 | I recommend this guy (www.trademe.co.nz) on TradeMe and his Camelion rechargeable NiMH batteries. We've got two digi cameras and both use these inexpensive and decent lasting charged batteries. We use both the Camelion charger and my Canon charger, and they each give decent life to the batteries. Long term? I dunno, but so far we're happy. An example of his products for sale is here (www.trademe.co.nz). |

(use the viewfinder) Be careful with LITHIUM batteries. Being an Olympus fan I have just bought my wife an Olympus camera - pretty cheap and simple compared to mine. It's fantastic - I am very impressed. But browsing through the instructions of the computer discovered that Lithium batteries should not be used on this camera - instead NiMH are recommended. So I bought a couple with charger from DSR. Up to that point I was thinking of getting Lithium AA batteries. I have no idea why Lithium should not be used. Check your manual (the advanced one to be used on the computer not the little booklets). Tom |

| 624539 | 2007-12-30 04:18:00 | The whole point about having a digital camera is to be able to use the LCD screen as much as you like, specially for taking landscapes on a tripod but also for being able to review your shots for sharpness, correct exposure etc. I would never trust a camera LCD display for focus or exposure evaluation, they don't have the definition needed to accurately assess focus, and the ambient light stuffs up any hope of checking exposure (apart from which the LCD viewfinder is unlikely to be set up for WYSIWYG image display). You can fix mild to moderate exposure issues using the gamma function in Irfanview (or other image manipulation software) but nothing can really fix focus problems, though the sharpness function can help with minor errors.
