Hey all,

Any time I leave the GH4 without battery for a few days, once I turn it back on, the time/date has been forgotten.

It happens to me with my G7 and GM1 that both were sunk to a lake. Whenever I change the battery, I need to set the date. The GM1 also slowly drains the battery even if it is not on, so I don't keep the battery in and need to constantly change the date. It is my 3rd/4th body anyway, and I rarely use it, so this is not a real issue to me.

It's a shame to hear that internal battery cannot be replaced.

Keep the battery in. It does not take many hours to charge, not days anyway, so it should not be a problem, unless for some reason it is.
