Fuji MX-1200 has quick battery drain and slow downloads, help!greenspun.com : LUSENET : Imaging Resource Discussion : One Thread |
Need Help!I just bought a Fuji MX-1200 and have two questions.
1. When I try and download pics from the camera via the serial connection it takes about 1-2 mins for a 300-400k pic. Is this slow rate normal? 2. I also drained 4 AA batteries during the download of only 4 pics. Again, is this normal? Please respond to rv4daj@yahoo.com. Thx David

Serial connection to the camera is s l o w. I use a USB card reader takes about 60 sec. to download 40 MB of data. If you are using alkaline batteries -don't-. Go buy Nickel Metal Hydride batteries. The are rechargeable and last about 20x longer. Here is one place to buy them.www.nimhbattery.com/batteries.htm
