I have an original battery and a fairly new third-party; both perform about the same.

The manual reckons 260 shots from a full charge but I think I get 120-180 (depending on how much I use the screen) As both batteries do about the same, I put it down to ageing of components in the camera.

Also my internal battery is dead so I have to reset date and time when I change batteries.

I thought it took about that on a charge .

As I use it as a secondary camera I know during a week away I've rarely had to change the battery .

I've got quite a few batteries so I need to check them out . It was lucky I had a spare in my pocket !

.

The internal battery had died in mine easier in the year .

Even after a few weeks of the main battery being in it hadn't improved .

As soon as I changed it for a fresh one , I had to reset the time and so on again .

It seems to have sorted itself out now as when I change the battery , everything's still there .

I think after a year or so of not being used it had gone really flat , and after a few months of being back in use it's recovered !

Has your camera been out of use , or has the internal battery died over time ?
