Battery Operation
The Image Bank with a battery mounted in "OFF" mode will switch to
"ON" mode when connected to the computer using the FireWire cable.
When cable is unplugged the Image Bank switches to "OFF" again.
If this causes problems for the workflow, you can switch the Image Bank
to "ON" before connecting the FireWire cable. This way the Image Bank
"remembers" that it was switched "ON" and stays that way when the
cable is disconnected.
NOTE!
When the Image Bank is connected to the computer, the system
is always powered from here, even with the battery connected.
The battery will not be affected in any way.
Battery Lifetime
The reference battery lifetime (for battery type NP-F550) is 1:45 hour for
a fully charged battery, when shooting at 10 sec. intervals, capturing half
the capacity of the Image Bank (approx. 600 exposures).
If you expose with larger intervals, the battery lifetime is increased some,
but the number of exposures is reduced. The other way around if
intervals are decreased.
Please note that the temperature has influence on the results. At low
temperatures the battery life decreases a lot. For outside shooting you
should keep charged batteries in your pocket (or another warm place) to
have them perform at their best.
