What type of battery life are you getting when on flash mode?

Hard to say because I only turn them on when I'm taking them out for potty time at our lake house. I can say that one of them got stuck on and I had to remove the battery to turn it off. If you look around online you can find batteries for these pretty cheap. Overall they are not super high quality but do pretty well.

I've had great luck with the battery life, since purchasing last December. Never replaced as of this e-mail. Used frequently to walk my Mini Pincer late at night. Well worth the money.

So far I have not had a problem with the flash. However, most of the photos I have taken have been landscapes with good lighting so the flash hasn't been used all that much. Sorry I haven't anymore info and good luck.

It depends on too many factors such as: What is the brand/model of your speedlite? How many batteries does it take? How often do you shoot with flash? Do you fire full-power blast with each flash? etc. So the answer could be anywhere between 200 to 2000 flashes. By the way, instead of using those low-capacity (1400mAh) batteries, get some decent batteries with 2000mAh of higher for your flash.

I had to press pretty hard to get it to flash, press again for a solid red, and when we were done walking, press it again to turn it off. The battery doesn't have a very long life, however. If you've already bought it, fine, but don't leave it on needlessly. Mine died about two months after purchase, and I was pretty conservative.

In most cases in low light the picture is a little darker. There is a feature on the camera that tells you to flip up the flash. When you do that there is no problem. As far as the battery it last much longer then I am used too. I can take about 250 pictures. If I set it at the ECO mode I can take 330 pictures There is a feature that tells you that the battery is getting low. The charger comes with the camera and it recharges the battery in 2 hours. The battery will last 1.5 hours of continuous shooting.Hope this helps you

I haven't specifically used video that long, but with a couple of short (less than a minute vignettes each) with several hundred stills, 400+, and shooting off of the screen on the back and reviewing each shot as long as needed, I was able to do all that and the battery held up fine. That was over a couple of days even, and finally charged it when it got to about 5% after all that. Hope that helps.

I purchased the flash, but I have not used it yet. Sorry, I can't help. Jim K

Michael, The battery last for 50 hrs on constant lighting mode and 150 hrs on flashing mode. I hope this info help. Good day.

You aren't supposed to have flash turned on in camera, leave it off, test the light by pressing it manually. Typically doesn't work on full auto.

I took some sample pics in the house at night with just lights on. They looked OK without the flash. I find with indoor pics I usually don't like the flash because it seems to wash out the photo.

I'm trying to remember, because we stopped using it when the battery died (too early). I believe it was steady about every second. We only used it in flash mode once.

I have not had any problems with my flash or camera I have the S3 if that has baring on your decision - I have noticed a slight decline in length of charge but still well worth the money and I'm still very happy with the battery!!

Honestly, the zoom was amazing, and when the flash worked, it tool some amazing pics...but the battery life was truly awful. Maybe if you had a back up battery precharged?

No. I use it quite often on both modes and it works very well. I assume you mean flash.

I found the battery lasted all day - taking around 200-250 shots, with perhaps a dozen or so also with flash. I would assume it would last a bit less with more flash use, but I was fine with how long it lasted. I plan on getting another battery just for backup, but for most folks, one battery should be fine.

Try turning off the LCD and changing the drive mode to continuous. I did this and the flash recycle time is about 4 sec.

I have shot 200 pics before I charged the battery before. That is not using the flash. With flash, I don't know.
