When I don´t use the S2

[Bohors]

Hi friends,

I have one question I wonder about the batteries (AA and lithium). When I do not use the S2 for a medium period of time (for example, one or two days) Should I hand off the bateries or from the camera?. Or the energy losted is little to be significant. Of course in a long period of time we must take off the batteries but in few hours I wonder it because the personal settings are reset when you change the batteries.
Thanks and regards.

I suppose that the best way is to take off the lithium and AA when You don´t use the S2 for a medium period of time.

Fuji told me to remove the batteries (both types) when not using the camera for a long period. However, they didn't provide much guidance on just what a "long period" was! I use my camera at least once every ten days even when I'm not involved in something, and I've left them in for that long without problems. They do gradually go flat, but not as fast as you'd think.

Yes Tom, I suppose that the batteries don´t hurt the camera on not-use status. The thought question is what is long period. The batteries instructions always says that in not-use the batteries lost energy. So resolution, about few days of not use, the S2 can sleep with batteries. But sleeping in box for a long time, the batteries must be out.

Read somewhere that lithium's discharge at a rate of 1% a day when not in use. So thats 100 days = 3 months= flat batteries. Never tried it ,aways charge overnight if i know i'm going on an all day shoot, just brought 2300 lithiums ,the're supposed to give you 100 -150 shots more than the 2000,

Happy shooting
