[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 220917, member: 12496"] You might need new batteries of course, it does not sound good. Their capacity does diminish in two or three years, but nine months is not a long time. Or perhaps there is a defect in the camera draining the battery? (I am making all that up, no clue here). But the number of shots is normally about the least load on the battery. What really drains the battery is the LCD being on. If you spend long times browsing through all your images multiple times, I would certainly suspect that first. Use the computer for that. There is short timeout provided to turn the LCD off soon. Also extensive internal flash use is a load on the battery. If those uses do not apply to you, then something about the battery seems suspect. [/QUOTE]
