Ways to Extend Olympus Li-42B Digital Camera Battery Life

It’s useful to know which of your digital camera’s functions use the most camera battery power, following tips will help you extend your Olympus digital camera battery life and keep you shooting longer.

1. Auto power off

Another useful trick is to turn the Auto Power Off menu option to the minimum amount allowed – that way your camera will go into energy saving mode for you. It will switch everything back on as soon as you half-press the shutter release button.

2. Review off

An obvious way to save energy is to not use the built-in flash and Live View, focus manually rather than use AF.

But a great way of saving juice is to turn off the image review, so you don’t see the shot on the LCD after you take it. Try shooting without it for an afternoon. Not seeing your images immediately will feel strange, but this lack of visual feedback is what everyone had to put up with in the days of film!

3 Turn off the Beep

Some energy-saving measures won’t save much juice, but are worth using when they are not needed. You may as well turn off Image Stabilization, for instance, if you are using a tripod. And the world will be a quieter place if you turn off the annoying focus-confirmation beep in the main menu – also useful for quiet candid shots.

4. Take care of your Olympus digital camera battery: If you are storing your Olympus digital camera for a prolonged period of time, remove the Olympus LI-40B Camera Battery. If you can fully discharge the battery before removal, that’s even better. Make an effort to charge and use the camera battery at least once a year.

5  Digital camera energy-saving ideas

Be careful about some energy-saving ideas. You can save power by reducing the brightness of your LCD, but then your pictures may look underexposed when they are not. You can save power by not shooting in RAW, reducing resolution, and by avoiding long shutter speeds – but all these things may well negatively effect your photographs!

6. Turn on power-saving modes: If your camera has a power-saving mode, turn it on to boost OLYMPUS LI-42B Digital Camera Battery life. Once you’ve activated the mode, the camera will automatically shut down after a set period of time if you forget to turn it off yourself.
