[QUOTE="LensOnWheels, post: 619595, member: 43625"] [b]Nikon D90 Battery Drain - During Video Only[/b] Hello, I am getting into VLogging and have the Rode Go External Mic for good audio quality. I have the following cameras. 1. Nikon AW 130 – Point and Shoot, Weather Proof camera with Built-In-Mic. a. No support for externa mic makes audio an issue. 2. Nikon D90 – DX Format camera – Provision to attach external mic With LiveView on my battery drains in just 5 mins. Lack of auto focus for video – requires me constantly adjust as per subject. That defeats video for a Vlog set up 3. Nikon D810 – FX Format camera – Provision to attach external mic Too big for a VLOG I would rather use it purely for high end photography I am particularly interested to know about D90 and D810 for the Vlog Set up Why does a D90 battery drain this fast for video – is something wrong with my battery? D90 for photoshoots works just fine, as I use manual focus and LiveView off. It lasts through the day. I dont wish to invest in a new battery if its an inherent problem with the D90 while shooting videos. Please advise. Thank you so much. [/QUOTE]
