Does the camera loses battery only when you use NV ?

I'm trying to pay attention when if i only use the cam to rec stuff im wasting batteries or not. So far it doesn't seem so but im not sure.

Im pretty positive only NV drains battery.

Yes, it only drain battery when you use Night Vision. Because of this, battery is never something you need to worry about. I cleared the entire game with 7-10 batteries in my inventory at all times.

Aight thx.
Does it do anything special to have the cam always on tho ? It says at the beginning "record everything". But im not sure i see the point if the goal is to simply gtfo of there.

Well, you don't have to record everything, but recording some things of interest as you progress through the game, Miles may make some new notes that you can read. And of course the camera has a handy Zoom feature, plus the night-vision mode is quite important throughout to help you see where you're going or what's around you in the dark areas.
