p.1 #4 · p.1 #4 · 5DIII battery life - think mine's an alien! | |
Like previously mentioned by others already, constantly turning the LCD on (chimping, live view, video) will drain the battery considerably. IS is another battery drainer.
Also, one shot vs. ai-servo makes a difference as well. Shooting sports, specially when you have the habit of tracking the subject for a few consecutive seconds waiting/anticipating the right moment to take the shots, will also make a substantial difference at the end of the day.
Like Ian, I usually change the battery when it reaches 50% charge, since FPS drops considerably, (unless high FPS is not required obviously).
When they mention 900 to 1000 shots, it's an average considering some chimping, video, IS and ai-servo use.
If you do none of those, then it shouldn't be a surprise to get twice as much out of a battery.
