I decided to try to drain my battery by going to Wack Wack and take some pictures. I was able to take some pictures but was not able to drain and calibrate the battery. I have to consult Canon on this matter. Canon EOS 1D Mark IV, EF 800mm f5.6 IS L Lens, Manfrotto 475B Tripod, MF 373 Gimbal Head Zebra Dove (Geopelia striata), also known as Barred Ground Dove ISO 400, 1/640, f8  Spotted Dove (Streptopelia chinensis), also known as the Spotted Turtle Dove ISO 400, 1/250, f8  Scaly-breasted Munia (Lonchura punctulata), also known as Nutmeg Mannikin or Spice Finch ISO 400, 1/400, f8  |

Lovely captures, Ely..... great detail!  My 1D2 charger had a battery drain function, isn't the 1D4's the same? |

Lovely captures, Ely..... great detail! My 1D2 charger had a battery drain function, isn't the 1D4's the same? Thank you Romy. I think its still the same charger with a red button in the middle to push to drain and charge. My problem is that it only drains for a few seconds and it switches to charging mode. When I attached the battery to the camera there is a warning that says calibration is needed. The manual does not say much about it except to push the red button to drain. |

All awesome shots, Ely! But my favorite is the Munia..the details are outstanding and the slightly open beak puts it over the top.
