After nearly eight years being a member of PF., I am aware that the Primary Brand is Pentax. However, searching through this thread I have noticed other brands i,e., Sigma, Tamron, Nikon and Canon. So hopefully this post will not garner any objections. I seem to recall a similar problem with a Pentax Digital Camera. Thanks for reading.
Greetings,
Yesterday we finally caught a break with the inclement weather doldrums and I went out to take advantage of it. I brought my Canon EOS 80D body with the Canon EF-S 55~250mm, IS, STM Lens. Now just prior to leaving the house I checked the power level of my OEM Canon Li-ion battery and it revealed there was 85% power remaining. After taking only approximately 10 shots, the camera shut down on me. I could not turn it on or off, could not fire the shutter or anything else, I mean it was dead. Fortunately I brought two spare batteries with me, and replaced the Canon battery with a non Canon battery and everything proceeded to work flawlessly the rest of the day. Now when I arrived home, (before downloading images) I inserted the OEM Canon battery in the 80D and the camera powered up with no problem. I then checked the Battery Status in the Menu and it revealed a level of 78% remaining juice. I then went ahead and re-charged all three batteries to full power levels. I am still in a quandary as to why the camera/battery failure occurred.
Many thanks for any suggestions and helpful hints.
Regards, Tony
