Step 4Other Electronic Devices
This section describes a few electronics that do not have many possibilities so a step is not dedicated to these devices.
Point & Shoot Cameras: Well, what's there to do? If you can, lower the screen brightness (although this may not be the best idea because picture shooting may bring light changes). Bring an extra battery if you really need it. Also, some cameras have standby. If you plan on shooting very quickly after a shot, don't turn it off. The lens coming in and out can use a bit of power. Besides, may cameras have a quick standby mode.
SLR and other extreme high quality picture shooting cameras: Power conserving is not a good idea for this because you are trying to go for extreme high quality, and attempts to conserve may result in subpar quality. Any ideas that are good will be added anyway.
Wireless computer mice and keyboards: Just turn them off while not in use, not much more to do. Make sure you remove batteries if you plan on storing the device for a long time. You do not want the battery to corrode your devices.
Other stuff: Make sure you remove batteries from devices before storage in the event that they corrode because you do not want your devices destroyed.
Rechargeable Batteries: It is recommended that you cycle them a few times before first use to prime them. After doing this, they will last a little longer per charge. For NiCd and NiMh batteries, fully cycling them is recommended (use the whole battery before recharging) to prevent memory effect. Li-Ion does not need this procedure.
