The 20d turns off automatically to conserve battery power.
The BP-511 battery takes a lot of pictures before going dead. You may not need two BP-511 batteries. I would not use double A cells. |

Why are you using AA's in the grip? Why not the two BP-511's it's
designed for? I've been using my grip for 6 months and don't even bother to carry the AA adapter. I only have the 1x BP-511 that came with the camera, but I use a lot of AA rechargeables. My first thought was that being of similar voltage and capacity they would also give me "mega" (as opposed to "micro") performance - sadly, it seems that this isn't the case |
