Will do, thanks. I wonder which one uses the most battery.

Thanks for both of those replies. So, BobbyT, should I be using the electric shutter for general photography of more or less static subjects? Such as landscape type scenes?

Is V3.0 the most up to date re-program does anyone know please? Is there a way to increase the frame rate in video mode? I want to do some slow motion type video clips, so want the highest video frame rate I can set the XT2 please. Any help, because the manual is a bit skimpy on this kind of...
