A while back I posted a few questions about battery consumption with the
*ist-D. At that time Godfrey and some others suggested using Lithium AA
batteries, so I gave it a try.
It's been a few weeks, and to my surprise I got to 1471 shots before the low
battery indicator came on. I changed out the set then, even though I could
probably squeeze some more shots out of them. (The lithium's are now in a
flash unit, and seem to be working adequately, though not on par with fresh
batteries.)
That's almost entirely manual focus shooting with virtually no use of the
RTF - but I've come round to the opinion that the Lithium's are the way to
go. Thanks to all who offered up their advice!
