using 6 new GP 2700 for my grip but only last a while. is this normal? it shows full but after bout 10 mins it show no batt alrdy
did u charge the battery before using?
or u just use it right after opening?
I don't thinkg the GP 2700 holds charge for long, like the recyko/eneloops/imedian, thus could be the batteries have been on the shelves for quite some time?
I've ever slapped 6 Eneloop batts in my grip (straight from packaging), can last at least 200shot (w/o flash) before flashing for change...it may be the batt that is weak.
Charge your batteries to full and try again.
Agreed. Try it again. else it's time to change le...
I believe NiMH are not good for DSLRs. Something to do with lower voltage output if I remember right.
You might want to use a Li Ion battery like Eneloop.
Anyway it is not recommended to use AA batteries for our camera.
Only use it if you are really in a pinch with no more batteries and you really need to get that shot. Otherwise i would suggest just forget it.
Eneloops are NiMH as well

AA batteries are great with old film slrs though. :bsmilie: they work 'forever'
OMG! I so love your avatar!!! :heart:
remember to set yr camera to 'NiMH' on the 'MB-D10 batteries' in the custom menu. that should solve it. the NiMH batteries run on a lower voltage than LR-6 so if the setting is wrong yr cam will just say its low batt
