If you use the camera pod does it use that battery until it is dead and then switch to the onboard battery in the phone or does it drain both at the same time? Also anybody that has one does it really add that much life?
Okay thanks, Was out the other day and only took maybe 20-30 pictures over an hour and battery life was bad. It would have been dead if we stayed there for another hour. This would never replace a camera on a trip without keeping a charge near by all day
I disagree haha
Most days I'm sitting on 70% left on the battery by bed time. That day it was at 98% when we got out of the truck. Was there just a little over an hour and a half and it was down to 20%. Counted them and we took 38 pictures while there so I would say in another 10 pictures or so my phone would have been dead. Not sure what other setting to change to get much better battery life on a normal day because on I get good life most any other day. I've never used the camera for more then a couple of pictures at any one time
It should, especially for the Pro Cam. You're not only trying to save a raw 34/38 MP image, you're trying to oversample it to 5MP as well. Add to that the Xenon flash, and you're going to need the camera grip.In limited use I have found that the camera (or Nokia cam app, not sure) uses a lot of battery.
Take a leaf out of my book, and reboot before going out. Chances are that the battery meter was just horribly inaccurate.
