Panasonic DMC-FZ18 is one popular range of compact ‘super zoom’ Lumix cameras, with lots of new features and improvements both inside and out, the DMC-FZ18 does a lot of live up to its price tag, but the original low capacity digital camera battery not keep great performance, the run-time isn’t excellent. Today AussieBatt battery experts share the tech tricks for improving Panasonic CGA-S006E digital camera battery life.
Tips for Improving Panasonic CGA-S006E Battery Longevity
Reduce digital camera screen brightness
Turn down the LCD’s brightness level, if your camera allows this. A brighter LCD drains the battery faster. A dimmer LCD is more difficult to see, especially in bright sunlight, but it will help extend your battery life.
Camera battery power-saving modes
Deep within your camera menus, there may be power-saving options that can help conserve CANON LP-E8 digital camera battery power. These range from sleep modes, which will turn the camera off after a period of inactivity, to LCD brightness options.
Auto LCD brightness adjustments can sap battery power more quickly than a fixed setting because the screen is constantly trying to adjust to the ambient lighting situation.
Good digital camera battery maintenance
Travelling to a cold climate? Help your batteries last longer by keeping them warm, either in a pocket or in a bag. Some photographers even carry heat packs to wrap around the camera, although this is more to help with general camera operation rather than extending battery life. When storing the camera for a prolonged period of time, take out the battery, as it can drain slowly when stored inside of the body.
Newer replacement camera batteries work better
To obtain the longest life from your batteries, don’t fall for the myth that says you should fully drain the battery before recharging it. In reality, a battery has “X” number of hours of use in it. If you’re using some of those hours to simply drain the battery, it won’t last as long over its lifetime. Just use the battery normally, and charge it when the battery needs a charge or when you’re done shooting. A partial charge isn’t going to significantly affect the life of the modern battery.
