One of my pins is shorter also. It seems that when the power switches between the body and grip, the readings can be odd. There have been previous threads on this. If I get a low battery reading, I turn the camera off and on and then it is ok again. Wish I could remember the entire thread, but had to do with how/when it chooses the source of power.
Perhaps someone could chime in that remembers. -- Best regards, Bruce Saturday, February 7, 2004, 10:41:00 AM, you wrote: RG> Does anyone here have the *istD grip that can check on something for me?
