I was always unsure of the asian batteries, the charger said they were charged, but the camera's indicator said they were not. They also have a lower capacity than Leica branded. I finally decided to bite the bullet, and buy only Leica branded. I have three, and even out there all day on Mardi Gras, I only had to change batteries once, and that was not really necessary, I just wanted to be ready. -- Regards, Sonny http://www.sonc.com Natchitoches, Louisiana USA On 2/13/08, Neil Miller <plus_4@hotmail.com> wrote: > > > On: Tue, 12 Feb 2008 21:52:50 -0800 mehrdad wrote: > > "yes, i am not sure who is doing what the camera or the battery, some > of my third party stuff works but most are now showing that they are > out of charge or running out." > > Mehrdad, My guess is the software update made this happen.
