By default, as soon as you turn the camera on, it enables flash--even when not needed. Form this habit: As soon as you turn the camera on, every time, press the "up" arrow on the four-way pad to turn the flash off.
Not only will the batteries last much longer, but the camera will be ready to take the next picture much more quickly.

Do not use Alkaline AAs in a camera. You need rechargeable NiMH (Energizer seem the best). Or use Lithium AA one-time batteries (expensive!).
Rechargeable AA NiMH are best. But this is not a new camera, the A720. If you are using rechargeable batteries and this problem is new, it may be time for new camera.
