-   I have the same problem, the fully charge battery drains in a week in the camera, and I have to reset the date/time any time when I change the batteries. -   aboross

-   I have exactly the same problem! Put in brand new charged batteries and they are dead within hours if left in the camera. Also get the date and time reset, so I was also wondering if the internal battery has had it. I actually found this post looking for a way to change the internal battery!! Andy-   speedybeale

-   I have the same problem.  I've tried several times putting new batteries in but my camera won't start and the lens won't retract.  Please help!!!  I took my camera to the store where I bought it and their professional told me it was not able to be fixed.  Now I want to know why it won't work and where I can send it in case there is a way to fix it that the man I took mine to didn't know about.  I've read someone else's message saying he got his fixed but a short time afterwards, it stopped working again.  I bought my camera with a photo printer but I've never been able to use it.  I would very much like to know what to do.  americananne@hotmail.com-   americananne

-   With fully charged batteries the camera drains the batteries after several hours when the camera is left off. If I remove the batteries they retain their charge until I put them back in the camera so I know it's not a problem caused by bad batteries. Also, whenever I reinstall the batteries, the camera requires the date and time to be reset. I'm wondering if some type of small internal battery for the camera has died and is pulling power from the AA's when installed. The camera should maintain the date and time when the batteries are changed. It seems like several people are having similar problems around the same time. Perhaps the lifespan of the internal power for the camera is expiring in this model around the same time?-   phillyvegan
