One thing I've found with the *ist D and 20D is that when the battery
indicator shows half-full (half the battery icon is shaded), you're done.
Replace the batteries ASAP or risk dealing with the previously mentioned
malfunctions. In my view there is no "low battery" warning on these
cameras. Just an indicator to "CHANGE THE BATTERY NOW!!!"
It never happened to me. Yes, when the indicator shows half-full you must
think of the batteries as being 90% empty, and sometimes you even get a
wrong half-full icon (just turn the camera off and on and you get full
indicator back).
However, when I see the half-full symbol, there are no glitches and no
immediate need to stop shooting, so I go ahead to fully discharge the
batteries.
I use NiMH all the time. Which kind of battery caused you so?
