So, you should try to turn your screen off in-between shots and also limit how long you review your images. Ordinary batteries are fairly useless (as you already know). So, for longer battery life, you should either be using rechargeable NiMH batteries (2500mAh or higher capacity)...or non rechargeable Lithium batteries like Energizer® Ultimate Lithium (up to 8X more power than ordinary batteries) or...Energizer® Advanced Lithium (up to 4X more power). p.s. the last 5MP Olympus camera was released in 2006, so yours is quite old and probably has lousy power management. Newer cameras today usually have much better power management. Some brands are better than others...<a href="http://www.goldbuyingguide.com/barrick-buying-gold-put.htm"> Petra_au</a> The LCD screen on your camera eats up most of your battery power (as well as the flash and shooting movies).

The camera kit came with alkaline AA's because they are cheap to show you that the camera works. Same reason it comes with a token 32 MB card.<a href="http://www.ecohomefashion.com/robes-and-shawls-75"> Martin G</a> Use NiMH rechargeables.

I use recharge batteries not only for the convenience of not having to run out and buy them but they last longer. The ones I use are available at Wal Mart, Target, etc... complete with charger.<a href="http://www.felinehealthguide.com/feline-leukemia.htm"> Jim A</a> Two of my three digital cameras take AA’s.
