In the past two weeks I`ve been busy refreshing batteries , went out shooting , keeping an eye on duration times , two batt. which I had discarded but somehow kept in my paraphernalia box , came to live again after refreshing about 12 times , working flawlessly with the D1 , with the d1X however the batt. indicator showed FULL , pressing down shutter button , indicator immediately showed empty , inserting into D1 , and all was well , managed to corrupt a CF card in the process ,...
Another CF card which had shown signs of trouble ( sandisk Xtreme III ) that had caused the SlrN to use up to 30 sec, to power up ( SlrN normally takes 8 sec. ) camera crashing every other time , and during mid-shoot , has now been computer-formatted eight times and.. works now flawlessly !!
I have heard about Current ( amp. ) and inner resistance being an important factor , remembering a flash made by Vivitar , model 283 if memory serves well , running on a single nine (9) volt batt. , which did Not work well with certain makes , only Duracell was compatible I think , the explanation was a " wrong " inner Resistance of the battery , now that was during the seventies , the D1X came TWO decades later ...
JK must have a point about the firmware upgrade of the D1X , causing it to be " choosy " about the battery`s performance .. but what about that behaviour of the sandisk III , and the Ultra II that got corrupted , ..
I`m siding with Judith here..
Maybe I should save up for a trip to the Fiji Islands to find a competent Voodoo priest for a thorough Cleansing of my equipment,...
