Canon camera question re batteries

[RobertInOntario]

Rob, check page 106 of the manual. It shows how to decrease the amount of time the screen is on. It's probably still set to 1 minute. You can decrease that to 10 seconds which should help considerably with battery life. Hope this helps.

Thanks, that sounds good too. I did manage to turn off the digital display (not sure how but I did!) so I'll see if that helps. Now I need to get used to taking pics with the viewfinder only. I took some train shots today (of Irish trains in Dublin) & I kept cropping parts of the picture off!
