I also turned the preview off on my M9 and M8 after I used up 3 batteries in the first two hours of hiking down the Canyon. It made a big difference and two more batteries lasted me the entire trip down and up. (I probably saved a lot of time not looking at previews, too!) We're having a great time - recuperating today from the 10+ hour hike back up.
