battery consumption levels (Camera & Imaging Products Association commonly known as CIPA).

Here are some helpful hints to extend battery life considerably by limiting the following activities:

Reviewing the pictures on the LCD Screen

Using the optical viewfinder (if your camera has one) to frame the subject when taking pictures

Excessive use of the flash

Remove batteries from your camera when not in use.
