Auto power off<br \/>\n<\/strong><br \/>\nAnother useful trick is to turn the Auto Power Off menu option to the minimum amount allowed \u2013 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.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Review off<br \/>\n<\/strong><br \/>\nAn obvious way to save energy is to not use the built-in flash and Live View, focus manually rather than use AF.<\/p>\n<p>But a great way of saving juice is to turn off the image review, so you don\u2019t 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!<\/p>\n<p><strong>3 Turn off the Beep<br \/>\n<\/strong><br \/>\nSome energy-saving measures won\u2019t 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 \u2013 also useful for quiet candid shots.<\/p>\n<p><strong><strong>4. Take care of your Olympus digital camera b<\/strong>attery:<\/strong> If you are storing your Olympus digital camera for a prolonged period of time, remove the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.aussiebatt.com\/olympus-digital-camera-battery\/li_40b.html\">Olympus LI-40B Camera Battery<\/a>. If you can fully discharge the battery before removal, that\u2019s even better. Make an effort to charge and use the camera battery at least once a year.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5\u00a0 Digital camera energy-saving ideas<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>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 \u2013 but all these things may well negatively effect your photographs!<\/p>\n<p><strong>6. Turn on power-saving modes:<\/strong> If your camera has a power-saving mode, turn it on to <strong>boost\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.aussiebatt.com\/olympus-digital-camera-battery\/li_42b.html\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">OLYMPUS LI-42B Digital Camera Battery<\/span><\/a> life<\/strong>.
