- My fully charged batteries are only registering at 1/3 power by the camera's battery indicator meter.
There is a condition affecting some A735 & A835 cameras whereby the camera may inaccurately display the battery charge level when the unit is turned on. Please note, this only affects the battery indicator meter and does not affect the performance of your camera. This situation can be corrected by installing the latest firmware on your camera.

- How can I prolong the life of the battery in my G1 digital camera?
Follow these guidelines to prolong battery life:
- Minimize the use of the camera preview/review feature.
- Make sure the battery contacts are free of dirt. Whenever removing and re-installing batteries, wipe the contacts with a clean, dry cloth before reloading the batteries.
- When using your camera in cold weather (temperatures below 41° F (5° C), carry spare batteries and keep them warm. Battery performance is reduced in colder temperatures. If your cold batteries don't work, however, don't discard them. They may be usable once they return to room temperature.
- Don't allow batteries to touch metal objects, including coins. Otherwise, they may short-circuit, discharge energy, become hot, or leak.

No, your pictures will not be deleted if your camera fails or is turned off. The pictures are stored in flash memory which is not erased when the camera is turned off.
