[QUOTE="Ruidoso Bill, post: 512517, member: 753"] This is sort of a lessons learned post. I shot a dance performance last night (sort of), Glad I have a second chance tonight. Had everything set up, 1080 30fps, shutter at 1/60, auto iso (still get some blown areas but not to bad), battery going out at 40 minutes into the 90 minute performance, no intermission. Grab a spare charged battery, open the door pop it out and put the new one in and ERR on the display, could not clear it. Pulled cards, battery, reseated lens still ERR on the display. I did noticed that the mirror was up and after a while (10 minutes) it started working again. Of course, I lost so much video I need to go back tonight and it is about 100 miles from home so 200 round trip. So on to the lessons learned: 1. Wasabi batteries do not even compare with the Nikon batteries for video. 2. Turn the lcd down to -5 to conserve power and use a self powered external field monitor. 3. Never pull a battery without turning off record and shutting the camera down! (mistake when in panic mode) 4. Set up backup camera on a tripod with just a 50mm to capture something if everything else turns to s___ on you. 5. Always shoot the first performance in case you need to go back, sol if no second and things go south. Did I say video is tough for and old dog still guy. ps Did a battery test this morning and got 80 minutes and about a third (maybe 100) left on a Nikon battery [/QUOTE]
