dreamsINdigital Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 I'm looking into buying a new Canon digital camera. How does the battery indicator on Canon cameras work, particularly the SD600 and SD630? From what I've seen, it only comes on when the battery is low? What is considered low enough for it to come on? I don't want to take my camera out just to find out that I forgot to charge it soon after. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreamsINdigital Posted June 13, 2006 Author Share Posted June 13, 2006 Anyone? I know someone here must own a Canon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grahnman Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 Well, I own a Powershot A520 and it only warns me when my batteries are running low. It's a minor nuisance, but I can live with it since I never go out with anything less than two extra sets of recharged batteries. I don't know if the newer Canons have got a battery indicator.

+John Teacake MVC Posted June 13, 2006 MVC Share Posted June 13, 2006 Canon Digital IXUS 50 Owner here and the camera is excellent apart from the lack of this feature. Hopefully if you are reading Canon a Firmware update will fix this ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sciguy007 Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 i have had two canon digicams (S30 and SD450), and on both there is only a battery low warning. and when it comes on, the battery is usually dead very shortly after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turkishdelight Posted June 17, 2006 Share Posted June 17, 2006 The indicator on my A95 usually comes on when I have ~10 shots left, no flash. Sometimes it acts erratically, though. I find that it is a better indicator of low batteries when I'm using more expensive batteries (NiMH, rechargeable). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
