This is currently unnknown. There is what looks like a detailed battery readout option (including battery depletion shown independantly for the grip and body) but that could be just the old-fashioned voltage state readout. Rumour does have it that the battery is nothing more than a rebranded Info-Lithium. We won't know for sure until the camera starts showing up in the hands of curious folks. -Adam -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
