I recently bought a samsung S630, it came with AA alkaline batteries. however after just 7shots the battery bar went to zero, it beeped 3 times and switched off..

Since then i ve bought several Duracel Batterys (AA Alkaline) but they all give me the same life, after 6-8 shots the camera beeps 3 times and would switch off..

I really love this camera it has excellent features, i am just wondering is there anything i can do tio improve battery life..will it help if i buy rechargables? or is there something that i can do
