But my 7 year old non TTL if i left it on (off B) over night just once it would conk out on me right off the bat when shooting the next day. Either camera i have spare batteries along with me for. I've got spare batteries in many of my coats and camera bags. Spare batteries all over the place. Because i like to head out on long afternoons out walking with an M6.
