Battery draining very quickly

[sampaul1996]

I’m a professional wedding photographer in chennai and carrying an experience of 2 years in the photography field. I am getting into Vlogging and have the Rode Go External Mic for good audio quality.

I have the following cameras.
1. NikonAW 130 – Point and Shoot, Weather Proof camera with Built-In-Mic.
a. No support for external mic makes audio an issue.

2. NikonD90 – DX Format camera – Provision to attach external mic
With LiveView on my battery drains in just 5 mins.
Lack of autofocus for video –requires me constantly adjust as per subject.
That defeats video for a Vlog setup

3. NikonD810 – FX-Format camera – Provision to attach external mic
Too big for a VLOG
I would rather use it purely for high-end photography

I am particularly interested to know about D90 and D810 for the Vlog Set up
Why does a D90 battery drain this fast for video – is something wrong with my battery? It hardly lasts for 5 mins. The battery bar starts blinking and the camera goes off. Tried cleaning the terminals, recharging to full state etc. There is no issue however when doing photo shoots. It works just fine, as I use manual focus andLiveView off. It lasts through the day.

Please advise.
Thank you so much.

worn out battery? Haven't you tried replacing it?

Is it 2 years, 4 years or some other number?
What camera should i buy for wedding photography

Who made the battery in the D90?
Is it a Nikon battery or a CPOS 3rd party battery. (CPOS Cheap Piece Of **** (excrement).

Nikon's D90 was the first DSLR to ever have the capability to shoot video.
Consequently, it didn't do a very good job when shooting video.
I would upgrade from the D90 to at least a D300s.

what happened to your canon 1dx and nikon D800? you sold the 1dx and D800 and purchased a D90 and a D810 between your last post (monday) and this one?
and somehow lost 2 years of photography experience in the same week?
math is definitely not my strong suit and i can see something doesn't add up in your two posts.

Are you really a wedding photographer? The link is really your website?

From the looks of the website its a company that has many photographers. They also don't tell you which photographer took which photo which to me is kinda shady.

The moderators now get a chance to adjudicate if the link is SPAM per TPFs TOS.
