K7 Battery Depleted
Seems the battery life indicator is not the most accurate! Me, I just shrugged and carried on without LV and movie mode. After the behaviour of my K200d, this actually seemed like a blessing, as the K200D would run out of power with virtually no warning sometimes. Although taking the batteries out and putting them back in sometimes gave me several days more use...
Need to get a spare battery!
So with live view going, the sensor going, the AF motor going etc lots of drain and low voltage and it thinks, empty.
Once you are back to normal the battery recovers its voltage without the drain and carries on quite happily.
If you think the battery is good for 600 shots and it might be 1/4 full when you have LV on it thinks it depleted. You still are good for 150 shots used normally.

While I was out last night the indicator in the LCD screen showed full battery power, however when I used Liveview I managed one photo then the Battery Depleted message appeared and the camera turned itself off. I could turn the camera back on and use it without liveview.
Is this a known issue?
