#1 | | Guest | Battery Drain in Camera mode, (no, it's not the age old flash problem)
Hi, I saw a patch posted here and decided to try it, and it pretty much didn't do anything!. I think the problem is not that the battery gets killed by the flash, but the fact that it drains itself when it's in Camera mode. I have always thought it was the flash, but i just noticed that even without doing anything, i SEE the battery going down first by 30%, then 1-2% at a time until the flash shuts off without taking a single picture. I have tried searching for a solution here, but there are so many posts, that it's simply impossible to find anyhting useful. Can some one please kindlyprovide me with a link to a thread that adress and solve this problem? or perhaps make a permenant thread where users can always find it in stationary area. Thanks =) | |

 | The autofocus-function needs a lot of power, so it comes to the same phenomenon like working with flshlight.

| the camera update
I installed the camera update and it's like a miracle. I used to be able to take at most 10 hi res pictures before the battery died. Now after 10 images the battery is at 86% what an improvement.
The cam update is linked below. i installed the camera library and camera s update. http://www.clie-link.com/uk/updates...mpatibility.asp
good luck. BTW, even tho those updates are intended for european clies, they work on the US ones as well.

| CamLib from UK site worked for me as well. It's not as good as what others have reported from new or aftermarket batteries but at least it's usable. i still carry the extra battery though.  | |
