C750 battery life

Hi Guys

New owner of C750. Was using 2100 mh batt and only managed to take abt 20 pics and batt indicator starts to show without flash.

Is this normal?

Thats not normal. On the average, I can take up to almost 300+ pictures before the battery indicator appears. Do check your charger.

Ya lor, I can almost take ard 200+ also, some even with the built in flash and LCD on all the time.
Is ur batt, freshly charge or u have leave it in the camera for sometime?? or is ur charger for this 2100mh batt, cos some charger only charge max 1800mh only

Hi Frd

Thanks for the prompt reply.

Yes. The batt were fully charged and i left in the cam for abt a wk. True as well tht my charger was bought for 1800.

However, just 20 shots is ridiculous.

Do you think it matters cos i took tht 20 shorts consecutively?

Not really la, I try to carry the camera in my bounch all the time lor, also I take the camera to play everynite I mean review on the LCD of what I have take la, then it can last almost for 2wk max lor, but most of them w/o flash la
I did not have a chance to use it direct cos after charge I usually let the batt cool itself dwn 1st then use, so I have a total of 20pcs of AA batts

Hi jasonwcs

2wks is a long time. Why do you still need so many batts?? Got $ no where to spend ah? Haha....

Guess you are a pro photographer!

Ya lor. Got one time I forgot about the setting being reseted to teh factory default if no batteries are inserted for more than 1 hour. Then poof, 2 hours later when I remembered, all my settings were gone.

Up to now, i have 16 batteries. 4 for cam, 4 for flash. The other 8 for backups. I think I am going to buy more Sanyo 2100mAh batts for my other electronic stuff too.

Any chance you are not using NI-MH batt? I hope you are not using NI-CA batt, cos they cannot lasts in DC.
