After getting the card for the *ist D I programmed custom 1 so that it
would do the things I needed for the microscope. Everything works and
the images are first class. However, things are not going so well with
the camera off the microscope.
First of all a simple question. The battery indicator shows full when
the camera is turned on and everything works. I've taken a few pictures
of things in my lab and they look okay. But after a while the battery
shows empty. But things are still working okay. Is this normal? The
original Lithiums and a fully charged set of new NiMH show the same thing.
It seems, with this and the other fault you have mentioned, that you
need to return the camera for either repair or exchange.
I have to say that I am suprised by the number of people on here who
have had a similar experience to you. Maybe list members are more
exploratory of their camera's capabilities than other users and find
these things out. Certainly, if I had wavered in my belief that the
present range of DSLRs does not fit my requirements, I would have been
quite put off purchase by the number of failure tales that have arisen.
