Egads,
1 set of Lithium AA's are $20CDN (15USD) here at the most expensive
places. No need to buy the more expensive CR-V3's as they offer little
over the Lithium AA's.

Lithium really is the only choice for cold weather, and even then you'll
lose 50% of the charge to the weather.
Mechanical SLR's have a huge advantage for cold-weather work.

They were normal batteries (not alkaline). I tried switching to NiMH (2300
MAh). Same result - after a few shots, they died. It was a little windy
too.I tried warming the camera with my hand, which gave an extra shot every
two-three minutes. I think it's rather annoying that it's so difficult to
photograph below 5-10 degrees Celsius. That is perhaps 1/5-1/4 of the year
where I live. Hockey games would be big problem with this technology.

What kind of batteries were they? I found that my DS2 packed it in
with a half-full set of NiMH 2500 AAs in a hockey arena -- going back
to a warmer area the camera continued to shoot for a long time on that
set. Luckily, I travel with multiple sets.

I did my first action shots. The *ist D/FA 80-200mm behaved quit well
(using
AF).
My shots were heavily overexposed (my fault) but not too bad
otherwise. I
was positively surprised. Except my batteries kept dying on my ;-/
I don't have a battery grip - and the recharables were too weak.
Would it help to use a battery grip - or is it the same problem with
rather
cold batteries (it's 4-6 degrees Celsius here)?

Emne: RE: Z-series feature I miss on the ist D
Yes, but it's the camera's contrast control mode.

Does that method use the flash's contrast control

Joe
That's right. Works brilliantly on the PZ-1p;
don't
know about the SFXn. Nice even lighting, no
shadows,
and much more natural-looking than bounce flash
alone,
IMHO.
Examples here:

Hi Rick
And with that setup did you just let both Flash
at
TTL setting and no
further corrections for indoor shots?
Frankly I haver never used the build in flash on
the
SFXn alone or in
combination so far, would be interesting.
I guess there has to be a minimal distance of
about
1.5 meters to get good
results and to not overexpose faces?
