bill_salati Posted March 12, 2000 Share Posted March 12, 2000 My Canon EF has a healthy appetite for PX-625 Batteries. I heard or read somewhere that the electronics in the EF inclde a voltage regulator and that you can use the alkaline 625 replacement battery without worrying about exposure errors. Can someone confirm or debunk this? Thanks. <p> Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terry_carraway Posted March 13, 2000 Share Posted March 13, 2000 I have heard something like that also. <p> Best way would be to test it. Take the camera out along with a gray card. Meter with mercury cell, then change battery to a fresh alkaline, meter again. Check the difference. If little or none, you are fine. <p> Anyway, alkalines are good enough if you shoot color print film. The film has enough latitude to make up for the metering changes as the voltage changes.

karl_wessendorf Posted March 14, 2000 Share Posted March 14, 2000 Is true, it does have a regulator. I have an EF myself, and use alkalines. Meter is dead on. Love that EF!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
