Mine's the lowly NX3000, but I can't help feel there was a connection between allowing the battery to run flat - and the camera's habit, since then, of losing the date/time setting every time I remove the battery.

Of 20 something digitals, it's one of only two to have thrown such a fault - and regrettably quick in doing so, within 4 years of purchase (April 2015)...

Perhaps the main battery is used to power the clock, or maybe to top up the system that does that?

Could it be that the backup circuit that keeps the clock running has gone faulty and that's what's draining your battery, continuously drawing from the main battery to try to charge a faulty battery/capacitor? Probably never know for sure
