There were some messages a while back about the battery charge warning

Earlier today I noticed the indicator was at half. Turned off the
camera
for a while as I wasn't snapping any pix, about 1/2 hour later
turned the
camera on again, indicator was at full. After a few snaps it was
at 1/2
again.
Does this behavior suggest that it's time to replace the bats, or
something
else.
They're getting used up. Be sure to have a spare set of batteries in
your bag, you'll need them soon. Run what's in there until they go dry.
One of the things I was doing today was experimenting with trap
focus. I
caught a few pix of cars coming and going. Godfrey, I think when
we were
trying out the technique on Friday you were wondering if a car
could be
caught with the technique. It seems that it can.
:-)
Oh, I knew it could catch a car in motion. The question is just how
fast it will make the exposure once the car enters the trap focus zone.
