Low power mode (green)
9
There will be a fraction of a second delay from the
moment you press the shutter release button half way
until the camera is ready to geotag the photo. Therefore
you must wait until the green light is lit before taking your
photo. A beep coincides with the green light, meaning
that there is no need to take your eye from the camera
viewfinder to know that the camera is ready.
You will notice that in the low power mode, your camera
will happily leave its high power metering state when it
has seen no activity for a period of time. This is the
reason for the significantly increased battery life whilst in
the low power mode, because the camera uses only a
tiny amount of power in its standby state.
Note that the GPS module within the GeoPic II is
constantly on during the low power mode, so the power
consumed by the GeoPic II does not change. Power is
reduced by allowing the camera to enter standby state.
The following figures represent typical photo counts you
can expect in low power mode. Bear in mind that these
numbers will depend on your shooting style and camera
setup:
Mode: Current consumption: Photos:
Continuous
GeoPic II: ~55mA
Camera: ~300mA
Total: ~355mA regardless of state.
