As other portable consumer electronic devices digital chambers use batteries as their source of the power. All batteries have one main lack: they only last for the limited term. In this article we will explain, what features of the chamber spend the majority of energy and as you can compress more than the whole life from the digital battery of the chamber.
There are many types of the battery. Your digital chamber could use accessible batteries, or probably it uses the recharged. Recharged batteries use set of technologies, such as nickel cadmium, litievyj an ion or litievyj polymer. The technology of the battery has promoted in last whole life of years but batteries, still considerably is short. It is very upsetting to face the big possibility of a photo only, to learn, that you have settled batteries.
When business reaches a power consumption not all digital features of the chamber are equal. The part of the digital chamber the greatest features is high consumers of energy. Knowing, what features spend the majority of energy, you be able avoid or minimise use of those features, keep energy and receive more than the whole life from your batteries.
The greatest consumers of energy in the digital chamber - screen LCD and engines which move mechanical components of the chamber, such as lenses, concentrating or changing image scale. Digital chambers allow to consider photos which were only are taken on small screen LCD. Some of them also allow to shoot at photos, using the LIQUID CRYSTAL MONITOR instead of the traditional view-finder. Screen LCD spends rather a lot of energy. It is the reason why all digital chambers switch off the LIQUID CRYSTAL MONITOR after certain quantity of time of any use.
Other big consumers of energy - engines. Digital chambers have engines movement of a lens or to change scaling or to concentrate. Engines spend rather a lot of energy, moving the digital chamber optical components. And at last flash - the big consumer of energy also. Shooting in a photo, using flash spends more energy that shooting photos without flash.
So, what you can make to minimise a power consumption and to receive more than the whole life from your batteries?
* Switch off the LIQUID CRYSTAL MONITOR and use the view-finder: Use the optical view-finder instead of the LIQUID CRYSTAL MONITOR to make your photos. Using the menu chamber damage the LIQUID CRYSTAL MONITOR, switching off it. As the LIQUID CRYSTAL MONITOR spends a lot of energy each time, when you use it to take a photo or to look at your objects and to make a photo, you spend for nothing energy. Only use the LIQUID CRYSTAL MONITOR when you should for example, taking the top photo, when the optical view-finder not goden to the use.
* Minimise preliminary survey of a photo: the LIQUID CRYSTAL MONITOR spends a lot of energy. When you announce photos on the LIQUID CRYSTAL MONITOR, you spend for nothing the battery. Only use the LIQUID CRYSTAL MONITOR to consider photos, when you should make so in favour of the following photos shooting – for example to check up, whether there was a structure correct or if illumination was good. Do not use the LIQUID CRYSTAL MONITOR to consider photos for an entertainment or to show photos to another. Wait, while you are not on the computer or in your office or home to make it.
* Do not use the continuous centre, if not the necessary: Each time your chamber focuses it consumer energy. Engines, which move optical components to concentrate, spend a lot of energy. You cannot avoid to concentrate certainly, but you can avoid to concentrate, which is not necessary. For example your digital chamber can be established in the continuous or unique centre. To move objects such as in sports events the continuous centre it is used so yours, there can be concentrated an object while you are not ready to take a photo. In those cases while you press the button of a shutter half of way downwards, the chamber will proceed to a concentration on object. To keep energy minimise that time to a necessary minimum. For example, if you plan to shoot at a photo of the runner in point a unique press a shutter, when it near to that point. Suppression of the button of a shutter and after the runner during longer time than necessary to grasp it in point of expenditure it is a lot of energy.
* Do not press the button of a shutter half of way downwards for any reason: Each time when you press the button of a shutter half of way downwards and do not take a photo, you spend for nothing energy. Pressing the button of a shutter half of way downwards the chamber passes a number of the processes, preparing to shoot at a photo. It focuses lenses, it has woken electronic components and receives the flash ready if it is necessary. Avoid to press a shutter half of way downwards when you do not plan to shoot at a photo.
* Bear other battery: Two batteries have twice energy as one. Bear the additional battery if you plan long session of shooting or if you are not assured, how many photos you will shoot and as long you will be far from the zarjadnogo devices. Some photographers always bear the additional battery with them, batteries are very small both easy and bearing, additional - the burden is valid not. One thing to remember, bearing the additional battery should make sure always, that you bear the additional battery which completely charge, there is useless in carrying over of the empty battery. Batteries tend to lose their charge even if they are not used so if you bear the additional battery within several days, or any more does not forget to recharge it even if you did not use it.
* Recharge every time when you can: Charge the battery (or batteries if you bear additional), at least once a day or every time when you have returned to the office, home or hotel. Even if you did not take many photos, and you think, that batteries have a sufficient power in them, it is better to make sure, completely accusing it, instead of to risk. You never know, what length your following session of shooting of a photo will be and when will be your following to recharge possibility, will be. Batteries slowly lose the charge, even when not used so always recharge your additional battery also even if it was not used.
* The plan concerning battery consumption: the most important thing should plan battery consumption. For example, if you leave the office for short session of shooting of a photo of hour, you are not going to have any problems of the battery. In such cases you can ignore all supervising principles and only to shoot at photos freely in a way which is the most convenient for you. If you leave within long day of the photo, running in probably continuous concentration (the same as shooting in a sports case) – plans scenarios which demand flash, and in advance for a power consumption, take the additional battery or probably two refrains from use of features which are not necessary for your session, such as preliminary survey of photos on the LIQUID CRYSTAL MONITOR or use of the LIQUID CRYSTAL MONITOR as the view-finder.
In the conclusion while technologies of the battery do not improve to degree, that accumulator service life is such long, that it actually lasts for ever, you should be conscious how you use the digital chamber concerning a power consumption. After several simple supervising principles can improve considerably a power consumption and make your batteries the last longer. |
