I got a bit of a shock the other day when my E-M5 started flashing
battery warnings after about 80 shots. I cursed myself for not carrying
a spare but finished what I was shooting which took the total to about
100 shots. I was truly startled that I had gotten so little shooting
out of a freshly charged Oly battery.
Just now I was reviewing menu settings and see that the battery warning
level is a programmable item which I had not noticed earlier. Now I'm
not sure where the warning level had been but I moved it to the lowest
level. Any E-M5 shooters have an estimate about how many shots I should
get? I'm used to 400 (maybe even 500) from the Canon 5D. I realize
that the large display and EVF are probably battery eaters but I hope
it's at least 200. Maybe I always have to carry 2 spares?
