Now I only use it occasionally (maybe once a fortnight) because I am back at University. I have noticed that when I charge the battery and then don't use the camera for a while, the next time I try to use it the battery is flat.  Has anyone else had this problem? Is there something I need to turn off or a setting I need to change to stop this happening? Or would it be best to charge the battery and only put it into the camera as needed?  Thanks for your help.
