Battery Life for the E-M5

[BoltSnap]

How many shots do you get while using the accessory flash that comes with the E-M5? How many do you get if you used the electronic sync cord?

I get around 250 shots when using the camera accessory flash (setting the flash power to 1/64) and around 300 when using the electronic sync cord (not using the camera flash).


BTW, I have 3 batteries and they give me about the same number of shots.

I've never run out of the batteries yet and always use the on-camera flash set at 1/64 power. Last photo dives were more than four hours underwater + 220 shots and battery still showed green (and i think it was 2 green bars at the end). Only use Olympus batteries (purchased from authorised dealers).

thanks for the info. I will have the same setup soon but I'm not going to test it's limits. Nothing worse than missing out on underwater shots because your battery has crapped out.
