Re: isDS - low batteries.

[Peter J. Alling]

NiMH batteries are very cold sensitive.  You should switch to lithium's 
when working in very cold conditions.  If it's too cold for lithium 
batteries
you should be using film.

The nimh batteries in my isDS go low very quickly when I've been out 
shooting in 20F or lower temperatures... especially with auto bracketing.

I get a dead camera after about 50-60 jpegs.  And, a halfway empty 
battery icon after about 20 RAWs.

Does anyone know if this is normal?
I have one of these:

It came with my "long in the tooth" and very used Kodak/Nikon DCS-460. 
Does anyone know first hand if it can be used with the isDS?
At this point, it's probably worth more than the DCS-460.

Thanks in advance,
Jim

During a war you get to drive tanks through the sides of buildings
