I deactivated the preview post capture, and I usually don't increase back LCD brightness (or if I need to, I switch it back to default setting quickly), and honestly doing this I never had to worry about the battery of K3III. Ok I also don't use the BT/wifi connectivity or geotagging, that probably helps.

I know for sure if I don't use the live view I can take approx 1000 photos on full battery - with live view it's much less of course, you're right it eats battery quickly in this mode.

I didn't know the K-3 III could do geotagging.  Does it use Bluetooth for that?
