There's no way to know from what you've already told us. The last time I used the P610 was 2 months ago in December and based on the photos, the last time the battery was charged (I use an external, non-Nikon charger) was last July. I just checked my P610 and the battery is getting low (the battery status bar is only half the usual length). That's a silly response, designed only to make life easier for Nikon's tech. Since I often forget to do that, I always have a backup battery in the charger! Somewhere, I read that would happen if you don't turn off the GPS. I contacted Nikon support and got the following response: "If you are not going to be using the camera for awhile it is advisable to remove the battery so that it retains more of a charge."ĭoes it sound like the battery or camera is defective? Is there a setting in the camera that is somehow draining the battery while it's "off"? Or is this normal behavior for this camera? I haven't had this behavior with any other camera I've owned, which have included Canon and Olympus brands - these could sit unused for months and months and still retain a good charge. For example, after two weeks of non-use, the battery is almost completely drained. But I have noticed the battery drains extremely quickly when the camera is turned off and not in use. I've had my P610 for about four months, and haven't had a chance to use it much. I looked for smart phone emulators to reside on my laptop, but I was not happy with any of them. On my pocket zooms I turned WiFi OFF, simply because I have no smart phone for them to talk to. I also found that Bluetooth is ON by default, and I switched that OFF as well.īack to cameras, generally I go through the menu when I buy a new camera, and I turn off everything that might drain the battery without my intention. This also stops updates from crashing Windows when they replace the WiFi driver. My work-around is to use a cable connection via a USB - Ethernet converter, so I can switch WiFi OFF in Windows. The 'nextbook' instructions actually state that WiFi drains the battery with constant Windows updates, and because the tablet keeps calling for a WiFi connection when there is none available. My business partner gave me her 'nextbook' tablet because it did not last on the battery, and the power supply has a plug and socket that lasts mechanically just a couple of months. I've ordered a second battery to see if the one that came with the camera is somehow defective.
