a quite stupid BUT important for me question!

=-Noelle-= SG

ok, what i have got to ask is when i buy a digital camera right, is it really really necessary to charge it for like a long period of time like 8 hours for the first time?

and what if i did not charge it like that for the first time? will it have any effects on the battery and camera?

thanks! in advance..
i know nuts about this kind of things hence the question Mr. Green

ok i'm not the best person to ans, becos i never give a sh[/i]it about my batteries when i first buy them, be it handphone, camera or watever.

i just charge until the charger says fully charged, then i use liow.

so far, my handphone batt has laster 4 years, so has the handphone (yes that's not a typo) and my cam has lasted 8 months. the batts show no sign of "aging".... Twisted Evil

ahhaah i'm getting alot of macro questions lately..

ok wat cam u using? anyway most models use a flower symbol to denote the macro function.

do u know wat the macro function is for? anyway if there's a button or symbol of a flower on ur cam somewhere, eithet on the cam itself or in the menus, then u have that function. it mainly allows u to stick ur camera very close to an object and u still can focus.

some cameras (like mine) does not allow macro thru all ranges of the zoom lens.

in other words, for me, if i zoom out all the way or zoom in all the way i can't focus very close objects even tho the macro funcion is on.
