Battery life for Pentax KP is not well documented.
I'm searching for LIve View performance, and also the performance with flash . If someone here tried just that mode, to see how much shoots can be done, it would be nice to compare.
Mine is still in phase 1, where the batteries must come to their full capacity, after 3-5 firts charges.
All I can found is 390 shots in CIPA standard and with Optical VF, but for Live View performance, there is no data. ( or it is ? )
I presume , that Live View with flash ON ( lets say, 1/32 power ) , and with little ongoing looking through LCD without shooting, cannot last longer then 390 shots.
My new KP came with 2 batteries. One original, one replacement. It's my usual procedure to have 2 batteries right from the start.
I have a feeling, the KP could be the first camera which forced me to buy another one spare battery, to have at least 3 of them, because I have a filing every time I turn on LIve View, it would run out of the juice every minute. Not particular good feeling.
