Re: Official: Sony A7 and A7R Fullframe Mirrorless
I have the sony battery grip with 2 sony brand batteries inserted in my a7r and a sony/zeiss 24-70 f/4 oss lens attached. Battery no 2 which is the first battery use has 80% charge remaining. I switch both the camera and grip Off overnight on my coffee table so nothing can possibly be accidentally suppressing any buttons. The next morning, battery no. 2 is down to 78%! Wtf? What has drained 2% battery life overnight without being used? I only decided to do this controlled test after seeing battery drain when leaving the camera inside my bag and thought something might be suppressing something, but this controlled test was in open air. Plus, I\'ve already tried a second set of batteries in case it was just bad batteries. Anyone have any ideas? My next test is to try and use a lense without oss in case somehow the oss lens is still sucking power even after the camera and grip is turned off. And next test after that is to leave the battery grip off and use just one battery to see if the grip is draining the battery. Anyone with similar experience? Any ideas? -W
