I am experiencing different shutter counts on each of the batteries, is this normal?

Thanks, not really an issue, grip works fine. I just wondered, since both batteries are always in play, why the shutter count for each battery and be different. A nit, really.

Actually, I've never noticed. I usually use two batteries with no problems. I do a lot of vertical shots and it's been great so far.

Usually there is a little rubber cover over the hole for connection. Look in the hole and see what it looks like and compare it to the end on the shutter release. Not all are the same for the different models and very frustrating.

I do not know. I usually make sure I have 4 batteries all fully charged and when I notice the camera slowing down I change the batteris. Sorry cant be of more assistance

Honestly, I have never counted the number of pictures taken before changing batteries, but I just put new ones in and I will keep track and let you know when I hit 30+. I have already taken 16. One thing I do know, when it starts flashing, it will continue to take pictures that need a flash for an additioal 10 to 15 pictures, it just takes longer to recharge so you cant take the pictures in a fast manor. Since I do not take moving subjects, this is not a problem for me. I take pictures frequently so I will return with the number of photos taken to make the icon start to flash. I will answer again at that time.

On mine the light is always red and I know the battery is dying whenever that red light starts blinking on the piece that is attaches to my camera (The smaller squared one)

Yes, I bought new one from Amazon. I don't know how to view shutter counts.

My camera uses double AA batteries, I have not experienced any issues like yours.

I have never had that problem but I would say that it is probably the shutter moving quickly. That is the only "moving" part on this camera. I would call them for their suggestion. I have never had a problem with their customer service. 800-847-8269

I have used mine a couple of times with no issues. I know the generic batteries seemed to run down more quickly when stored in the grip. I just checked it again and saw that the grip also has an ON/OFF slide switch that much be turned on. It's below the camera LCD screen. Hope this helps!

No, this is a problem with the camera. Everyone talks about how it chews through batteries. Mine does.

Have not had that problem. I say that I usually get a couple of hundred photos maybe more using litium batteries

I have not had that problem. I would suspect that the battery is not good. If you have not had the camera very long, check and see if you can send the camera and battery back. Or maybe check with some place in your community that tests batteries to see if the battery is the problem. I don't mean to insult your intelligence, but I have done this before. Are you sure you are inserting the battery the correct way?

It is normal for mine too. It eats batteries like a 3yr old eats candy. It is my only complaint with the camera. I also us a Nikon Coopix L610 and it is even worse on the batteries.

The same thing happens to mine. You need to have some heavy duty batteries and I highly suggest having a battery charger pack. That's the worst thing about this Camera, it sucks the battery life super fast.

When I bought this camera 2 years ago it was brand new in box. The shutter count was zero. So far I've put 4600 clicks on my camera.

If you already went to the shooters menu on your camera and set it to quick real ease then it's the battery or it's a bad one.
