Some camera models have very short battery span — meaning that a new battery for a particular camera model has a short life span, as it can take fewer shots per charge.
What would camera experts out there do if they had such a camera?
Would they do one or more of the following:
- Buy more extra batteries
- Buy a AC Adapter
- Others?
Answer
Usually, we buy more batteries. For pros, a few extra batteries is a very marginal business expense, and for serious enthusiasts, it's usually just worth it. I always want a spare battery for my DSLR, even though it has excellent battery life. If you're in the studio, an AC adapter may be an option — although even then, keeping the camera free of an extra tether is nice, and being in a studio means you don't actually have to tote those extra batteries.
You can also:
- Take battery life into consideration when selecting equipment, if things seem equal otherwise, and
- Turn off battery-draining features, like live view and automatic review of pictures on the rear LCD, and avoid using the pop-up flash.
