    I'm not entirely satisfied with the battery life on the FZ21S. Does anyone know any good power-saving tips that can be applied?

    Also, another thing I've noticed is that the battery takes forever to charge. A lot longer than it even takes to fully drain. I used Everest to check out battery information, and it says the battery is a non-rechargable Li-Ion.. .which is obviously wrong, and even more strangely, while charging the charge rate shows something ridiculous like 7 million watt hours or something. Is this extra long charge time just me or is that just how the FZ21S is?

    Please don't double post. You already posted the EXACT same message in the FZ owners thread.

    Yeah I posted that a few days ago, the only reason I made a new thread is because nobody responded to that, so figured this may get more attention as its not on the 157th page.
