General Help Q&A / Fast battery drain with FPS Override video
« on: August 24, 2012, 03:29:03 AM »
Hello
I've been using Magic Lantern 2.3 for a couple of days on my Canon 500D. Everything seems to work ok, except when I record video using FPS Override, then the battery drains super fast. Last time I used a fully charged battery and started recording a movie at 2.5 fps (1920x1080, optimize for Low Light, Bit rate FW default). The camera recorded for 6 minutes and then shut down asking to change the battery.
This doesn't happen when recording a normal movie (without FPS Override).
I didn't find anyone having this particular problem, so anyone knows how to fix it?
Thanks
