Re: R5/R6 - Battery / Coupler / Charging in the field - lessons & questions
I recently shot 11000 shots on my R5 on birds in about 5 hours of shooting. I was drilling the camera hard to see what it could do. I had a total of 4 NH batteries with me and two in my grip for the first 9900 shots. I swapped the for the second set after about 9000 shots or so because I didn’t want to change falling out of H+ green on that first set. Note that I got my R5 on Aug 1 and this shooting happened at the end of Oct, so these batteries were broken in and not brand new. I did use the ES for a bit but turned it off after I saw the rolling shutter effect in shots of birds in front of backgrounds.
Personally, I see no need for a charger in the field or any need to limit how I use the camera. I am not turning anything off to save battery life.
