Meaning of 48'35" on display sx260hs?

hcgolf4fun — Fri, 08 Aug 2014 10:55:58 GMT

Canon sx 260hs you tube states it is battery life and every time I place a fully charged one in the number is totally different either lower or higher. How can that be possible? Can I get rid of that off the lcd screen?

Is it really beneficial to have the gps logger on always? or gps is good enough on its own?

Thanks in advance.

In order for the GPS to work properly, it must be on at all times.

I have read in this forum when it states on the LCD screen - eg 48' 23" means it has 48 hours 23 seconds of recording time so therefore that number only refers to video recording. How can I get it off the screen since I don't use the camera for video taping?

hcgolf4fun,

You are correct that 48'23" is the remaining shooting time available. In this case it is 48 minutes 23 seconds. You can toggle the amount of information that is displayed on the screen by pressing the DISP button. However, it is not possible to remove a specific item from any particular display setting.
