The battery indicator is very non-linear. The battery goes for hundreds of shots showing full charge. If you watch, in the last 20 or 30 shots it goes to half charge. You usually don't catch it showing half. When it dies, everything goes blank. Turning the camera off and on again is often good for another shot or two. The wise choice is to carry a spare battery and change it out. Regards, Bob S.
