Turn off the flash, don't delete any of the pictures, don't have red-eye reduction on, don't review any of the pictures. All of these will extend the battery life, try and do as much as you can with the computer, such as red eye reduction and deleting pictures. Hope this helps.

Unfortunately, because your camera relies solely on an LCD screen, most of your battery power is going to be eaten away powering that screen. And since it runs on AAs, your best bet is to simply use rechargables (with an mAh of over 2000) and have an extra set you can swap out when you're running low.

Also, use your presets. If you're shooting in available light, see if an available light setting is on your camera and choose it. If at the beach, a beach or sunlight setting. This will force the camera to limit it's choices and not up the ISO or go to the flash. You can also prefocus, which will lock the focus in and reduce your shutter lag by as much as 80%.

Also frame the shot with the light at your back as well. This will enable you to use the natural light of your settings to illuminate your subject.
