[QUOTE="Clovishound, post: 838859, member: 50197"] There are some menu options that can help with the battery drain. I got a little annoyed with the display going dormant after a short period of time and changed it to a couple minutes. Battery life went down the drain. I quickly changed it back. Counterintuitively, the EVF consumes more power than the backscreen. There are lots of different combinations of EVF, backscreen, sleep intervals to juggle between. Figure out your style of shooting and find a balance between battery life, and convenience when shooting. In the end the spare battery is likely your best friend. It might not be a bad idea to have a USBc cord handy so that you can plug your camera into your car and get a bit of charge in the field. I once pulled out my spare battery only to find I had forgotten to charge it. The other option would be a portable phone battery, those are cheap and can be used for other things than powering your camera. They also can be put in your pocket and power the camera via a USBc cord in a pinch. [/QUOTE]
