batteries go flat is left in camera
I have a Sanyo VPC-E2100. All was working fine with it. Then the batteries went flat. Bought some more, went flat.
Bought some good rechargeable ones. I have discovered if I leave them in the camera they will go flat, quite quickly. If I take one out, and then put it in when I want to take photos, all is fine. But that is a REAL nuisance.
What is going on, and what can I do about it?
Ist dies eine gute Frage?

Thank you for your help.
However, the problem is that this didn't happen when I first started using the camera, but does now??? I trialled leaving the batteries in for just a couple of hours, if that, and they went flat. Really frustrating as I use it a lot in the classroom and don't want to keep taking the batteries out and putting them in again, especially as it was okay before ...

Hi,
How are you turning the camera off? Do you press the power button to turn it off or do you allow it to turn itself off? If the latter what option have you selected in the Power Save setting?
Also what option is selected in the LCD save setting?

I press the power button to turn it off, the power save setting is one minutes and the LCD save setting is 'on'. Is this the correct thing?

Are you sure your turning the camera off every time?

Hi @jmbkiwi ,
Just wondering if you have the time to try the following.
Check the date and time on the camera, then remove the battery. If you can, leave it this way for at least 24 hours, then re insert the battery and check to see if the time and date are still correct and have not reverted back to factory default setting.
Unfortunately the User guide does not specify how long the date and time should be "held" when the battery is removed, it just says a long time.
My thinking on this one is that as you imply that the camera appears to be functioning normally except for the battery problem and the only things left "powered on" when it is switched off is the "switch on" detect circuit and also that the settings are maintained. When the camera is off the battery also maintains a charge to a capacitor (presumably it is a capacitor and not another non user replaceable battery) which "holds" the settings information if the battery is removed. I'm wondering if the capacitor is faulty and draining the battery. So the sooner that the correct date and time are gone the more likely that the capacitor is the problem. e.g. if it is gone in 12 hrs etc or perhaps even 24hrs in case it is supposed to last longer
