- The manual for the Minolta Dynax/Maxxum 8000i claims a battery life of
- 50 rolls of 24 exposures for a 2CR5 "based on Minolta's standard test
- method using a fresh battery at 20 degrees C ( 68 F )".
- There is a disclaimer about how you use the camera and how long
- the battery has been on the shelf. The 8000i doesn't have an internal
- flash or power zoom but is AF.
-
- I can't give definitive figures , but I have shot at least 20 films
- on the battery currently in the camera , at least ten of which were
- 36 exposure. This is in "normal" use , with pre-focussing and framing,
- tests, etc. The camera is not yet giving the "low-battery" warning,
- but the previous battery expired very rapidly ( no warning ).
