Hey y'all,
am playing with my new UNLEASHED 22 (performing a comparo between a Nikon Z9 running with internal intervalometer in "Av" mode vs. a Nikon Z9 running with the UNLEASHED at the moment).
The first thing I noticed is that the Z9's display never goes off during a timelapse with the UNLEASHED on, while the Z9 automatically shuts off displays when running timelapses internally.
Over the span of 3 hours the battery on the Z9 running internal timelapse is at 75%, while the one running UNLEASHED is at 50%. The display is at default brightness.
Of course next time I will change the display brightness to minimum, but is there anything that can be done to minimize battery drain?
Considering the Z9 only has one USB-C PD input port, if I wanted to add external power I would have to purchase the Nikon dummy battery, which adds a second USB-C port, but at a cost that is close to that of a Z9 battery!!!).
Thanks and have a great time timelapsing!
