3. Freak'n camera battery took a crap. Some people I saw have them on

their phones. We shall see.

8. I hate it when that happens

I have a digital camera I love, but it's underpowered by two AA cells. It's good for about 3 reliable shots. I can't tell you how many 4th shots I've missed because the damn camera started to beep at me.

If anyone knows about an external battery pack for a Minolta Dimage F100, let me know.

10. Maybe this will help (auto power save option, + turn off lcd screen)

The F100 utilizes two AA batteries for power, either alkaline or NiMH types, or accommodates one CRV3 lithium battery pack. I strongly suggest picking up a couple of sets of rechargeable NiMH batteries, and keeping a spare set freshly charged at all times. A battery indicator in the status display panel reports the current charge level of the batteries. When battery power gets too low, a red battery icon flashes in the LCD monitor and the camera eventually shuts itself off. The F100 offers an Auto Power Save option through the Setup menu, which lets you specify how long the camera sits inactive before shutting itself off. Additionally, the inclusion of the status display panel on top of the camera means that you can easily operate the camera with the LCD monitor switched off, as several camera settings are reported there. Working without the LCD monitor active drastically increases the amount of operating time for a set of batteries. An AC adapter is available as a separate accessory, recommended if you plan to spend much time reviewing images via the LCD monitor or downloading to a computer. (Really though, in terms of bang for the buck, just get a few extra sets of high-power NiMH rechargeable batteries, and a good charger.

12. It's my stupid fault, I have two extra batteries, two extra chargers, but

at odarkthirty, who's thinking of anything but :coffee: and a piss? oH BUT Thanks so much for your very well informed preparation in advance of battery deficit!

13. Doesn't work.

That was the first thing I did, shutting off that screen. The second was to get the rechargeables.

The camera is nice, takes great photos, but is simply underpowered. I just need to learn to change batteries every three shots, not try to squeeze four out.
