Re: one trick to help with battery life

Yeah, I am an air hog as much as my camera is a battery hog (and has a small battery to begin with). So I often use the flash on TTL and just fiddle with the correction factor. Works for me so far and I am faster than full manual (good for my air consumption). But I will look into and play with ways to reduce the camera flash output. good point.

Spare batteries are not the issue. I just dont desire to open the housing possibly not yet rinsed and dried i.e. on a windy sand beach at all… I prefer to wait until in a clean environment, preferably with running clean water. Yes, I can make do without, but since one leak is all it takes, i rather not. I recently had a silica gel packet burst on me (I recycle them by drying in the oven, maybe it got slightly too hot). What a mess to clean up in the housing. I only imagine how much worse it might be with blown in sand…
