Camera Battery Question....

<< < (2/3) > >>

Hedge:
I agree Robin which is why on my cameras I have preview turned off.

If I want to look then all I have to do is press a button which has the added advantage of staying as long as I want rather than only 3 or 5 seconds.  :smiley:

I don't go spending all three days on just taking pictures - it's not a photographic holiday or trip. But I do take lots of pics when and where appropriate. Example: I went to Sweden with some friends and took lots of pictures of the architecture and scenery, especially the various lakes. But also did a lot of chilling, eating, and going out.

I have the Fuji F72EXR which shares the same battery and it's seams to last forward, certainly get a good couple hundred shots in EXR mode without the battery symbol even dropping 1 bar.  :happy2:

Thanks, Steve - Useful info. I asked in the local camera shop today and was told that continually using Preview might also consume a lot of juice. Also, rechargeable batteries tend to reduce their ability to maintain power as they get older. I had primarily visited the shop to buy a spare rechargeable battery so I now always have back-up.

Recently I've been shooting as many as 80 pics a week and also viewing them a lot before uploading.

Once I see one bar empty, the other two bars follow much more quickly.

:happy2:

Can't remember the last time i charged my camera battery.  Taken a lot of pics with it too, not everyday, but sporadically.

If fact, where is the charger.............. Bummer, big search under-way, bet the battery dies next time out!
