Hi All,

Post a full day out recently with the Q2 I thought I would post battery life experience.   In total I was able to shoot 1,363 photos before I had to switch to the spare battery.As regards settings I have auto review set to off, (Helps battery life and stops me checking every photo),   I also have the EVF set to extended which means that every photo has to be viewed through the EVF whilst taking it but the rear screen still shows the menu when you ask it to.  The rear screen also will playback any photos in this mode.

The bluetooth is set to off apart from when I used the Fotos app to look at some of the photos, which I did twice using battery 1.  Optical image stabilisation is set to Auto.  Power saving mode is set to off and just in case this makes a difference, Auto power off is set to 2 mins and display off set to 1 min.  This appears to be a much better performance vs the Q and very welcome.  I hope this is useful to some of you.

Regards

Josh
