Originally posted by cport It always depends on how you use your camera. In one-day shooting full a lot of series of the same scene, you can definitely get to much higher numbers. However, if you take you camera every day for casual shooting, playing with settings, sorting pictures in your camera, than the numbers could be much lower.
I do not have a good experience with my d-li109 accumulator in frozen weather - sometimes, using LV even with a fully charged battery is a real challenge ...
Anyway, there is a way how to spare your battery life - definitely turn off the display, using the info panels instead for a fast control, and set up the third wheel for a fast change of the rear display
Thanks for the advice,
I already turn the display down - even on my K3 .

Also I love to spare my batteries as much I can, and my style of shooting is much more effective since I've learned hot to use TAV mode properly.

TAV is most effective Manual style of shooting - and it became my almost exclusively and only camera mode - because I can do much more job without entering and changing the settings

I set up my speed and apperture, and all I have to do, is control "+/- " exposure balance, easy peasy.

That way I'm not using any of settings anymore, once I have done with aperture and speed set up in the beggining - and the screen is almost black all the time, except for 1 sec automatic fast preview, immediatelly after every shoot -

And - I can turn that off also -that could spare my battery even more.
