For Christmas my Uncle gave me this cheap digital camera for Christmas. Not that it's bad it just doesn't record sound. Anyways, it keeps running out of batteries. I keep changing it, but it still runs out of batteries when I haven't even used it! My uncle told me I don't have to charge it just change batteries I do and it runs out after only one day without even using it. What's wrong with it? it's probably on 24/7, so take out the batteries when you are not using it. Also invest in some rechargeable batteries, you can get a kit for less than $15 at walmart. most likely it is drawing power, like it is'nt shutting off all the way. Whenever you're not using it just flip one of the batteries in the opposite direction so there's no current flow. Good Luck. |
