Battery Life of Nikon N-75

[n.a.t.h.a.n]

Hello Friends,

 

I got my Nikon N75 with Sanyo CR-2 Lithium battery by Dec..

after 1 roll, my battery was down and i've to go for a change...

This time i used Duracell CR2 Li Batteries...again, after 5 rolls of

usage, battery became down yesterday..

Whtz the problem..?? i'm doing something wrong here...??? [whenever

i'm not using the camera, its always in the off mode only]

in the manual, they've mentioned min of 23 rolls might come with 28-

80mm lens..

i'm using maximum of 70-300mm lens for my use..but whether that will

reduce the no.of rolls like this..

after that initial 1 roll i'm going for manual focus mode only for

many shots....but no use??

whatz the actual problem..whether any of you facing like this..

please clarify me..

 

thanks and rgds

Nathan

that sounds like an electrical problem.

i've not used builtin flash also ..but still its like this..

whether it can be corrected by servicing??

Check your gas guzzling custom functions, especially:

 

4: focus area illumination (set to 0 = low light only)

 

8: delay for meter switch off (set to 5 or 10 secs, not 20)

 

11: LCD illumination (set to 0 = off)

 

12: focus assist light (set to 1 = off)

Also, are you using the built-in flash a lot? That would kill batteries quicker.

There is a Nikon power available which uses AA cells. It's pretty cheap too.

Peter,

i've used your settings..let me check this time..

Russ,

As mentioned prev, i've not used my builtinflash upto this time.

 

I've one question..if we change the batteries with "On" condition, whether that will make some problem like this?????
