Hi all, I have an issue and am now at a loss, as the camera has been back to Fujifilm on 3 occasions and they can't find an issue.
I purchased the camera in October 2020, in the kit with the 16-80 lens. I moved from Canon with lots of lenses as I just wanted to simplify my setup. However, I have never on average got more than around 150 photos per full charge. During the time I purchased a second genuine Fujifilm battery and two third party ones; same issue with all of them.
I have tried lots of suggestions for different settings but they didn't make any difference, as to be honest I don't 'chimp', the review is switched off, I very rarely do any video and if I do, it's just a couple of clips of a few seconds each. I also rarely use the LCD, I just used the EVF all the time. I have tried switching the camera off after each photo, I only use single point focus and use back-button focusing so it's not like the camera is hunting all of the time.
On each occasion when it has been back to Fujifilm their testing has show that they can get many hundreds of photos, using my battery. And when I have done a test at home, taking photos around the garden over a couple of hours period I have also managed to get up to 400 photos with only 2 bars of the battery used.
However, the issue comes in 'real world' shooting. I go hiking and take photos as I hike to document the hike, or I go on holidays and take snaps as I travel around, and it's these times when I get the issue. It's not temperature related as I have never taken it anywhere cold, or anywhere hot, just the regular UK temperatures. I don't change any setting when out and about, the only difference (and hence why I am at a loss) is that I will have the camera on a wrist strap and be walking around. I can't see how this can make a difference but I am at a loss.
