Camera Battery Question....

(1/3) > >>

I currently use a compact digital FinePix F200EXR - I'm very happy with it although such cameras do have limitations (I want a Leica X1 next).

I find that it eats battery power and takes 2 hrs (I've timed it) to recharge. Tends to drink more battery juice when using EXR-mode of course - It's a bit like NOS!

I know that stokeballoon and possibly stealthwolf have the same camera - Do you have the same 'problem'? It always runs out when I most need it and perhaps I should invest in a spare battery ready charged to swop.

It depends on which modes are used but I get approx 40 shots (need to check that number) per battery fill. I use the oem Fuji rechargeable battery.

Thx for any answers  :drinking:

stealthwolf:
I don't have the same camera but have had a couple of Fuji cameras. None of them have the issue you describe. I've gone on three day weekend holidays, with a fully charged camera and been able to take pics all weekend without having to recharge.

RedRobin:
^^^^
I assume that your 3-day weekends (you dirty bugger) have involved taking lots and lots of pics.

Hedge:
Ever so slightly off topic but I managed 1400 shots on my Pentax K20 from a single charge and all on 1 16GB SDHC card.
The battery indicator hadn't budged from full either and the shots left kept on recalculating.  :scared:

I do tend to use the all-singing-dancing automatic everything EXR mode a fair bit and also look at pics and enlarged parts while still in the camera - All of which drinks battery fuel.
