Also, the manual - have not master all the function. But if indeed this is the battery performance, its a little of a lack down. imagine, when on tour, when we are on trigger-happy mode. then....- TOHAampuletshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06219304381301554353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5658132.post-1127092826440949242005-09-18T21:20:00.000-04:002005-09-18T21:20:00.000-04:00Everyone has a Contax!!TOHA > My camera battery al...Everyone has a Contax!!<BR/><BR/>TOHA > My camera battery also seemed to be lousy --- was 1/3 gone after I fooled around with it for maybe an hour last night, this morning was another 1/3 gone, and then it died on me as I was taking pictures at my cubicle!!<BR/><BR/>But. The wise Abigael (see above) who has been using a Contax for a year plus now, suggests that maybe it's because I left the camera in sleep mode rather than switching it off properly. Apparently the auto-off function only puts it to sleep, and it can still run very hot and drain the battery very fast. It needs to be switched OFF-off in order to conserve battery power.<BR/><BR/>I have to wait till I go home this evening to charge my camera before I can verify if this was indeed the cause of my battery drain.Tymhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15168089811114758802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5658132.post-1127063209384440862005-09-18T13:06:00.000-04:002005-09-18T13:06:00.000-04:00Y bought one for me too, on friday night.

It died on me, after about 45 shots. That's far from the 150 that the sales guy said it promised. Anyway, he did mentioned that it would be like that for the first 2 charges. Does yours fried up after a few continuous shots? - TOHAampuletshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06219304381301554353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5658132.post-1127060344451719272005-09-18T12:19:00.000-04:002005-09-18T12:19:00.000-04:00Welcome to the family!!Maye-E (Black), Bryan (Blac...Welcome to the family!!<BR/><BR/>Maye-E (Black), Bryan (Black), Joseph Nair (Navy), You (Black), Me (Tan)!!<BR/><BR/>Yay!!Abigaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01680738126275343614noreply@blogger.com
