killjon Posted November 28, 2020 Share #1 Posted November 28, 2020 Advertisement (gone after registration) How many batteries do you guys typically carry on a full days use? Just one? How about for stills? 64gb? 128gb? Thank you ❤️ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaapv Posted November 28, 2020 Share #2 Posted November 28, 2020 Battery life depends on your usage. Are you taking a shot at a time, well spaced out, or are you rattling off dozens or even hundreds? Do you switch the camera off between shots, use auto-shutoff or leave is running and ready? Do you have the LCD off all the time, or do you leave it on, set it to Auto or do you chimp extensively? What is the outside temperature? - cold can reduce battery capacity dramatically. And so on. Rule of the thumb: always carry at least one spare battery more than you think you need. As for cards, there are two schools: One will prefer as large a card as possible to avoid an interruption in shooting, the other prefers a number of small cards for security - cards can fail, be corrupted, get lost, stolen, eaten by the dog, etc. The more baskets your eggs are in, the better. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trankster Posted November 28, 2020 Share #3 Posted November 28, 2020 If I am out for a full day (or longer) of photography, I carry a spare battery and card. My main card is 128gb Type II. Rarely do I need the second battery if I started out full. This served me well on a month's travels to Europe last year. I back up my card and recharge nightly, also. My power is off when walking around and LCD is mostly off or set to auto when I occasionally want to use it. I also prefer to leave the touch screen off.

KenBennett Posted November 29, 2020 Share #4 Posted November 29, 2020 I always carry a spare battery, and I use a 64GB card in the camera. For casual use I don't carry a spare. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
