Energizer e2 lithium batteries for K100
Couldn't find any previous threads to answer my question.
At the beginning of June, I purchased a set of energizer e2 lithiums for my K100D. I was impressed to find that they were still going strong 3 months later. I also thought they must be wonder batteries because my battery indicator info on the LCD panel ALWAYS showed full charge. That is, until yesterday when I took a few shots and got a "battery depleted" message. That's it, no warning. Just done. I was able to squeeze off a few more shots after shutting the camera down a few times.
My questions are, why isn't the indicator working? Is that typical for this type of battery or is it perhaps a camera glitch? Do I have to now just keep track of how many photos I've taken and expect them to die at around a few hundred shots?
I almost never use flash, my LCD is set to turn off after 5 seconds and I would guess that I take around 500 shots in 3 months. I usually rename my photos after editing, so I no longer have the original number of my shots. Is there a way I can retrieve that from the EXIF data?
Any help or advice is appreciated!
Cheers,
