Since reading your thread, Jeffbridge, I have taken to leaving my camera switched on when tracking through birding territory and now prefer it - it does give an edge, if slight, in speed of firing off a shot or two when a suitable subject appears. At the same time, I am not much given to battery saving activity at present - enough to think about and I still benefit from chimping (where did the word actually originate?) quite often, as with birding I use almost entirely manual settings and I can still get wrong exposures. Nevertheless, as a result of this thread I have in fact cut down my chimping quite noticeably to avoid distraction, potentially purely from habit, and I am watching (and being surprised by) the rate both battery and card are consumed. Regards, Jeff
