Subject: Re: DigiGlitch with Low Batteries
It never happened to me. Yes, when the indicator shows half-full you must
think of the batteries as being 90% empty, and sometimes you even get a
wrong half-full icon (just turn the camera off and on and you get full
indicator back).
However, when I see the half-full symbol, there are no glitches and no
immediate need to stop shooting, so I go ahead to fully discharge the
batteries.
I use NiMH all the time. Which kind of battery caused you so?
I used NiMH, Lithium AAs and CRV-3s. all gave the same behavior. I was a
very early adopter of the *ist D, perhaps they fixed the low=no battery
issues in later production.
