Z8 loosing battery charge while OFF
Recently, I noticed that my Nikon Z8 with FW 2.0 has been losing 5-10% of its battery charge within 5-6 days, even when it's turned off. All connections (Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, network, etc.) are disabled, and airplane mode is on.
The camera was stored in my drawer with a Z lens attached and a Sony XQD card in the slot. I have two original Nikon EN-EL15c batteries. According to the camera's battery information menu, both batteries show a "0" age, indicating new condition. I charge them using the MH-25a charger and occasionally via USB-C. After discovering the battery drain, I tested both batteries, and the results were the same.
Has anyone else experienced a similar issue? Is this normal battery drain for the Z8?
I understand that batteries lose charge over time, but 5-10% in a week seems excessive for a turned-off camera.
