I have experienced the save thing ever since I've had mine over a year now. Also viewing your shots on the screen of your camera while the power is turned to the on position on your grip you will not have all operations of your camera work properly.

Assuming you fully charged the battery prior to plugging it into your camera my guess is you have a defective battery.

So far, the battery has held a pretty good charge. I get about 150 pics if I use a lot of the special filters and zoom continuously. If I just take regular pics using just the zoom and no filters, I get about 200. It also holds a charge for a few days if you don't use the camera and have it turned off. That's what I usually get with any Fuji camera, whether they use a propriatary battery or AA batteries. I bought a second battery from Amazon, and keep both charged. It's a pretty spectacular little camera. I've used other pocket compacts and none of them even come close to this little guy in picture quality and features.

I don't actually use this camera - I got it for my daughter. But Live View (which is what you're in when you're using the LCD) measures the light differently than when you're taking pictures using the viewfinder. At least one other person has reported an exposure problem related to A+ mode through the viewfinder but had no problem in Live View, which sounds similar to your experience. It could be a bug. Watch for future firmware updates from Canon.

I have owned three different (tho similar) Canon cameras and each has a (slightly) different battery and charger... so be careful.

Yes this is normal. Like all portable electronics, battery life depends on applications, and video recording consumes battery faster than some other functions such as radio or audio playback. The battery pack is used as a backup. For best results, please always connect the camera to its wall charger (with USB cord). Please let us know if you have other questions. Thanks.

After using my camera in my work for several months now, I have not had that problem. In fact, I use rechargeable batteries (which usually don't last as long) and they have been lasting very well. You might want to try rechargeables. I am well satisfied with this camera so far.

I purchased an extra backup battery when I made the original purchase of the camera. The extra battery more than handles regular use of the camera.

I do not know. I usually make sure I have 4 batteries all fully charged and when I notice the camera slowing down I change the batteris. Sorry cant be of more assistance

My camera uses double AA batteries, I have not experienced any issues like yours.

I couldn't say exactly, but definitely a long time! I don't change my battery often. I have 3 batteries: 2 Wasabi and 1 Lumix, and I haven't noticed a difference between them. They're always full-power according to the camera indicator when I switch to a new one. I'd say on average I change my battery every couple weeks, but the one I randomly replace it with may have been sitting a month at least.

I have not had that problem. I would suspect that the battery is not good. If you have not had the camera very long, check and see if you can send the camera and battery back. Or maybe check with some place in your community that tests batteries to see if the battery is the problem. I don't mean to insult your intelligence, but I have done this before. Are you sure you are inserting the battery the correct way?

Actually, I've never noticed. I usually use two batteries with no problems. I do a lot of vertical shots and it's been great so far.

I believe Mr Wang is inquiring as to the shutter counter number (or number of shutter actuations) for the specific camera he is considering buying. I am not sure how to determine that. Some cameras number images in order from the first time the camera is used. I am not sure that the D2X does that.

Robert, I said I would get back with you after taking more pictures. I just hit photo number 30 since you asked and no...it is not flashing that I need new batteries. I use regular Energizers. Nothing special. I too think you may have a problem with the camera. Although, I have gone through a couple pair of batteries very quickly, and it occured to me that the store may have just sold me old batteries. Not all have experation dates on the packging. Good luck, I love the pictures I am getting, I hope you do to.

Take battery out charge even though it's fully charged but charge again for a few minutes then put battery back in and that should fix the problem. It shouldn't happen again that's what happened the first time I used my camera

I timed my processing speed on my camera and it is 8 seconds and seems to take longer after multiple shots. Thanks for the tip about the shutter button. I tried that and it works for about 3 shots than the camera seems to hesitate and the shutter button will not depress. Maybe that is how it is supposed to work and 3 consecutive shots is all that is needed. I just don't know if my camera is working as it should and I am expecting too much or if there is a defect in the camera.Thanks for the help.
