How long does the battery last. Does it have a remote for taking pictures. Or can you set it to take pictures every so often?

The battery lasts about 2 hours of actual time used. The battery doesn't drain when the camera is off, which is nice. If you use the time lapse mode you can set it to take a picture every .5, 1, 5, 10, 30, and 60 seconds. The battery lasts the same amount of time whether it's taking pictures or videos.

I use rechargeable batteries. How long they last seems to be a function of how many pictures i take over a short period of time. When I take abot 20 pictures and then don't use the camera for 4 months, it still has the battery juice for another 50 pics. I did run out it one day after about 425 pics however. I have solved this issue by always taking a fully charged set of batteries with the camera set. Hope this helps.

The version I received does not have a remote. I think the longest display time in the photo slideshow mode is 15 min, although I think you can select it to display one photo for as long as you want.

I haven't taken much video with my camera. However, I have left my camera on by accident and taken multiple photos on several different days without the battery going dead. I think it has a good, long battery life. Not sure if this helped, but told you what i know about the battery.

The battery lasts about 100 pictures depending on how often I use the zoom on my camera. I have to charge it about once a week. Great battery.

This camera is very slow to take a picture, it takes to long from turn on and be ready to take a picture, and when it is on you push the button and the perfect moment for the picture goes...., battery quickly dies in cold or hot weather, no matter what happens battery dies.

Bob, I have had my camera for about 3 weeks. But I would say it all depends on the way you use it. For me it last all day taking picture around Disney. Then I charge the battery every night. Hope that helped.

I don't know, I'm not that good with a camera. I do know the battery last for ever.

Not sure the answer you are looking for. We have ours out everyday. We don't have to change the batteries to often. It takes pictures until our camera chip is fill but we bring the chip in weekly

The battery life has been good for me. I bought the camera right before vacation and took many pictures over the course of a week. I believe I recharged the battery daily but the battery never died. I just wanted a full battery for each day since I was taking so many pictures. However, I've only used the camera sporadically since so I'm not sure how the battery life would be now if I was using it as much as I was when I first bought it.

hello, I do not know the exact battery life and no it does not have a camera.

it uses a tiny lithium ion battery. battery life is okay but not great. it works for taking pictures around the house, but I bought an extra one so I always have one ready to use. extra batteries are cheap, about $7. the main advantage with this camera is the ability to control it with the touch screen and the ability to share photos instantly via WiFi. it has a nice amount of features for the price. I recommend getting it as a package deal with an extra battery, memory card, etc. it's not a professional photographer's camera and only average as a hobby camera, but it's practical. there's a great website for comparing camera features. just Google the brand/model number d "vs" and the other brand/model number.

There is a little delay. More on some settings than others. I would say the battery life is good but I would recommend having a backup. I haven't had the camera for long and I'm no expert so I don't know what would be considered normal usage. I have shot over a hundred pictures on one battery and that is with some playing around with the camera also. Hope this helps.

You don't need to turn it off. It is like a digital wristwatch. As long as the alarm isn't constantly going off the battery will last for several years. In the case of the wired remote, just be sure it isn't set to continuously trigger the shutter before you put it away. Batteries last about 2 years in mine.

This is a great camera but there are so many features I don't know them all yet. I'm almost certain I remember reading that it has a self-timer, but I haven't used that so I don't know if it applies to more than one pic.

Aloha Phi, Yes it can if you set your camera to bulb, the remote switch has a locking mechanism that slides over the switch to continuously keep the shutter open. You'll have to manually time yourself though, as no timer is built in.

When I am on a trip and making lots of pictures it will last most of one day but if I am just making pictures occasionally it will last for days or weeks depending on how often I use it. I am sorry but can't answer how many hours. I always carry a backup battery with me in case it runs out of power. It does keep its charge longer than off-brand batteries of equal size and is now the only brand I use.
