Power
The F1400 Zoom is powered by four AA alkaline, NiMH or NiCd batteries. An AC adapter is available as a separate accessory, and we definitely recommend picking one up to save battery power during mundane tasks like downloading or reviewing images. As we do in virtually every digicam review we write, we strongly recommend new camera buyers also purchase a couple of sets of NiMH rechargeable batteries and a decent charger: You'll save more than the cost of the camera in the long run, just by not having to buy dozens of alkaline cells! We also recommend keeping a spare set of batteries charged, although the F1400 Zoom does a pretty good job with power consumption (a fair bit lower than average). As always, the LCD display is the big power hog, but even it isn't nearly as bad as some we've seen, probably due to its smaller size. In our own shooting, we got through almost all of our tests on a single set of AA NiMH cells, which is a very rare occurrence. We also noticed that with the LCD turned off, you should be able to leave the camera on for hours at a time without serious battery drain. Here's what we found in our measurements:

Operating Mode	Power Drain
Capture Mode, w/LCD	470 mA
Capture Mode, no LCD	40 ma
Half-pressed shutter w/LCD	470 ma
Half-pressed w/o LCD	260 ma
Memory Write (transient)	190 ma
Flash Recharge (transient)	~200 ma
Image Playback	370 ma

Included Software
Packaged with the F1400 Zoom is a software CD loaded with a USB driver, Exif Viewer, DP Editor and Adobe PhotoDeluxe, as well as a couple of other drivers and launchers necessary for Windows. A USB cable comes with the camera for quick connection to a PC or Mac. All software is compatible with Windows 98 and Macintosh OS 8.5.1 to 9.0. The Exif Viewer software lets you list the images on the camera or computer, print indexes of images as well as view and print individual images. The DP Editor package works with the DPOF (Digital Print Order Format) setup to print images on DPOF compliant printers. Finally, Adobe PhotoDeluxe allows you to get a little creative with your images through a variety of filters and manipulation tools. You can also correct minor image problems and work with templates to create greeting cards, calendars, brochures, and many others.
