how long does the battery last, if you are constantly shooting (all day)?

I never took the time but depending the shots about 6 t 8 hours if you put it off when you are not shooting, shooting videos more less maybe not more than an hour.I hope i was useful

I have taken one fully charged battery on day trips, taking pictures the whole time. I always bring a back-up (fully charged) battery in my camera bag, and have yet to need it! So the exact life of the charge I can't say, but they seem to last very long to me. Hope this helps a little.

I have not had the chance to use mine as yet but I can say that the original one holds a charge a long time. If they are equal I would guess at least 3 days. ?????????don

I guess it depends on if you are doing long exposures or just normal shooting. I take mine hiking and I am constantly shooting photos in the mountains. I also do some long exposures and I never really noticed how long they last because I take extra batteries with me. I know I have went a month without changing the battery if I am just doing normal shooting.

I've honestly never drained my battery. I've taken over 200 pics in a day a several short (40 second) videos. My battery never died on me.

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.

I got about 15 minutes out of each full charge. So, it's best to keep the camera plugged in at all times. The camera still shoots color at night and automatically adjusts to day/night.

My experience has been very good... Over Christmas for example, I had a battery last me for a few days, and that's with shooting probably 20 photos and a little video each day. On trips where I'm doing a lot of shooting I may go through a battery each day and recharge at night. Since I have two batteries I just cycle them through and am never lacking a charged battery. When I got my camera, a firmware update made battery life significantly better... Could be the same for you. Best of luck!

I would say that the battery life would last you a full day is used immensely, or two-three days with less use. I have used it for over 4-5 days by taking pictures and simply turning the camera on and off as needed because of the quick startup. If you stayed somewhere for a week and needed pictures (and it was charged already) I would say to charge it once more while there to be safe.

Not very often. I can usually get through a couple long days of shooting before having to change them. I just use the basic Energizer or Duracell batteries too, nothing fancy. I've really enjoyed the mic, works great.

I've done several hours of shooting with out totally draining the battery. I've never had myself in a situation of going from full charge to downright dead in one setting.

battery lasts about 45 minutes recording video, longer if not recording or taking pictures. As for a full day of intermittent recording, no it cant last that long.

Copy states it comes with three pads, each lasts 4 hrs. The batteries (they come with it) last a total of 12 hrs.Simple math tells me the whole shootin-match last 12hrs total. Even if you used it for one weekend, dinner on the patio three times, it's kaput by Monday morning, pretty much. I'll stick with a dab of insect repellant behind each ear and save some money! (and check my yard for hidden standing water, they say a mosquito can lay eggs in as little as a tablespoon of water.)

Yes. I do it regularly on my motorcycle. It lets me shoot all day without having to stop to recharge the battery.

I do not know the exact time in hours and minutes, but my has lasted forever. I'm in and out of my gun safe alot, I leave mine on motion setting and have yet to pit new batteries in it. A+++

Was too busy to count hours-new camera- roughly 300+ shots without any low battery notification, easily half a day possibly more. Buy a spare battery & 12 volt charger just in case. Other older Lumix products I have give me roughly a days worth-

Having purchased this battery, I reviewed it based on the fact that when I used it in my camera, occasionally during the shoot, the camera simply wouldn't fire. I'd then turn the camera off and then back on, shoot a few more frames, then same thing. I've since acquired another Canon brand battery, and retired this one to use as a "backup backup backup." After all, you never know, and if you truly run out all of your batteries and still need to shoot, having an unreliable battery is still better than having no battery at all. How long does the battery last? Can't say. . . got too frustrated with its unreliability to keep using it until it died. Sorry.

all day and no problem. :) a fully charged new battery gives about 1.5 hour for video and 4 hours for picture taking. It is a fun little camera.

I have been using mine for a couple of months with the original battery, but I only use low intensity (#1 position, red instead of green), and I turn it to the off position as soon as I'm done shooting. However, it is very easy to forget to turn it off!

The battery itself is rechargeable...never really track how many shots taken before fully used up the battery...
