Does the battery life display on the camera, and if so, is it accurate?

I've been using these for a while now... and the battery life does show on the camera and it seems pretty accurate. The battery life seems exceedingly compatible with the original battery that came with the camera. I'm planning on buying another set of these, simply because I have found that I can take 300-400 pictures in a 3-4 hour period and I'm going on a cruise to Australia early next year and want to make sure I have plenty of battery power. I strongly recommend this product.

I must have got a lemon. Battery life is sporadic, and not dependent on the usual factors, like using flash or video. I turn off my camera after each photo or group of photos. Sometimes a battery will last a 1-2 hours, sometimes a few weeks. I have three with me at all times or I may not be able to use my camera.

I haven't taken much video with my camera. However, I have left my camera on by accident and taken multiple photos on several different days without the battery going dead. I think it has a good, long battery life. Not sure if this helped, but told you what i know about the battery.

It has a 4 dotted meter. You push a button and btw 1-4 dots light up to tell you how much battery life is left. I find the meter to be accurate.

I am not using rechargeable batteries in mine. So far the battery life seems to be good. I do keep my camera turned off when not in use. I've had the camera about 2 mos. now, have taken quite a few pictures and still on the first set of batteries. Note: with the 26x optical and 26x digital on top of that this camera takes great moon shots. Looks like they were taken through a telescope. Craters are in sharp detail.

It has a Great battery life, I haven't had to recharge it yet & ran it 4 hrs. It says 6-8 hrs life & I bought a back-up incase. This was the best purchase in HD camera's I made & a great price!

I found the picture quality to be quite sharp and clear. Not sure about battery life I do know we had it out all day and evening on the boat and in and out of the water and no problem with it running down. But I always take the batteries out when the camera isn't in use after the day is done.

In all honesty I haven't used my camera all that much and I haven't recorded videos, which I imagine would drain the battery quicker. With that said, I charged my camera two months ago when I got it and I haven't re-charged it since. I've used it intermittently for fishing pictures and haven't noticed any issues with the battery life. My old Olympus camera had great battery life and stayed charged for several days of use, and from what I've seen with this one, I don't expect the battery life to be much different (although this camera is 12 MP and my old one was 4 MP - perhaps my old camera didn't use much juice in comparison???).

There is a battery life indicator. As far as how many photos I don't know. But if you use the flash and the internet and playback you decrease the length of the charge. It is always best to have a backup battery as they tend to run out of power at the worst time. I'm very happy with this camera. My wife has the pre internet version so I was familiar with it. I just wish they both used the same battery

I use it 1-2 hours a day and charge it once a week. I don't keep the video on the whole time but I do check it occasionally. Using the battery pack for the actual camera, on the other hand, kills batteries very quickly. Compared to other monitors I've had, I'm very happy with this ones battery life.

You need to ask the question in a different way. I do not understand what you are asking. I sent the camera back to the dealer, but if you're asking about battery life, battery life is good. It's a good camera if you buy it with the correct lens.

I have had mine on about 12 hours of use. Still have the factory batteries in it. The camera batteries going dead is the problem I run into when do time lapses.

It does, except you can't count on the accuracy. One minute, it could show an hour left. But only to have it tell you the battery is about to run out. This battery is cheap for a reason. It does work but not to the extent advertised. Basically, you get what you pay for and that's just fine with me.

The manual and the reviews say that it should last twice that much...are you doing something else besides shooting?..I mean, like playing with the settings, reviewing every shot longer than usual...if you are only taking pics, it's doesn't seem right, although having an extra battery is always recommended..

Battery life seems to be pretty good. i have had to change batteries only once so far and have had the camera out since Feb.

Yes, the picture does look with the correct battery. It is about twice the thickness of my original SONY battery that came with the video camera. So far, I am pretty happy with the battery as it gives about 3 hours of recording time per full charge (that's with quite a number of zoom in/outs, no degradation in performance after at least 30 charge cycles...

Ralph, on my Canon Vixia HF R400 Camcorder, the factory battery which was included with the unit shows 94 minutes total recording time on a full charge. Both of the batteries in the Fully Decoded Pack with charger are recognized properly and each one shows 190 minutes recording time on a full charge. All of these times seem accurate in actual use. Before getting this item, I had some problems with other cheaper batteries not being recognized and not showing the battery condition properly, but these have been fine for me so far. I hope this helps.
