Re: Battery draining scenarios...

I don't know about other models, but my NX5 is very good about not discharging it's battery when "off".

From experience with other equipment this symptom can be an initial indication of a failing battery.

To prove (or disprove) this concept, you could try, with a freshly recharged battery, taking very many pictures (or continuous video) and compare your results with the manufacturer's quoted figures. Bear in mind that these figures are possibly only valid for OEM batteries.

Good luck
