Why does my camera battery go dead overnight when I turn my Camera off
1412365
The camera purchased is used in our Logistics Department for taking pics of loads prior to leaving warehouse. It is used frequently and since received (approximately 2 weeks) we have not experienced the issue of battery going dead overnight. To date seems to be working well. Not sure how long you have had the camera but I would certainly contact vendor for replacment of battery.

I have the same problem. If you are recording continuously for more than 15 minutes, the camera heats up and begins to say that you're running out of power. At 20 minutes, it shuts off. The batteries aren't out of power - the camera is just not designed for continuous shooting.

i've had it running for as long as 1 1/2 hours without losing power. I never used the camera long enough to drain the battery.

I plug the camera in before the occasion. Sometimes an hour or two, sometimes overnight. The battery has held out just fine each time I have used it if it is charged, but I've yet to use it for an all day event so I can't say how long it lasts. It certainly doesn't deplete quickly if that's a concern. I have not timed the charging process, but a couple of hours is sufficient to return to full capacity from near zero.

Unfortunately I have never had to reset my camera. Is it fully charged? Is it turning on? I will totally try & help you out the best I can :)

That is incorrect. My camera has an image with a battery in the upper right hand corner at all times. If the battery is full the image is white on the inside if its half charged the image is 50% white. You get the idea? If the battery is near dead the outline changes from white to red and has a mini lightning bolt looking thing inside of the battery. That's when you'd want to charge the battery. Additionally, I used this camera to take 40+ pictures on an all day snorkel trip and the battery never died.

yes. the camera will turn itself off after you turn ignition off; it may take about 15 seconds to happen.

Several possibilities; are you using a genuine Nikon battery or a third party battery? Do not leave the power of the MB-D14 on when not in use; the connection between the battery and the power pack may need cleaning: use DENATURED alcohol to clean all connections on battery, power pack as well as the camera. If all that fails contact Nikon directly: they may have some other suggestions. Good luck!

The adapter has no on/off switch,but we can also save the power. Generally the camera has auto-off function,the power will be shut down while the shutter closed without operation in 30 second or 1 minutes acquiescently.When sharing photo, you should set the time longer from auto-off.

As long as there is power to the outlet the camera will be on - the camera itself has no on/off switch. Some cars, like mine, has powered outlets whether or not the ignition is on. Once or twice I forgot to unplug the camera and it was on for over 12 hours but the truck still started.

The camera is being charged up when its plunged in. There should be no reason to have to turn it back on. It should stay on.

Yes, turning the camera on/off is not working right. First delivered one was bad and the replaced one is also the same bad condition which is very frustrating. This camera is a junk. I wasted my money for it. I do not use this camera any more. If it is possible for you, I would like to return the camera to you for refund. Hiro Inoue

Assuming you fully charged the battery prior to plugging it into your camera my guess is you have a defective battery.

I really don't think I know, but did you have the switch on? I think the camera is supposed to be turned off while charging.

It appears the problem is not with discharge, but with the software that tells you the battery is discharged, and then shuts the camera off automatically. The battery is actually fine. Problem is, Canon says the issue requires a firmware upgrade for certain serial numbers, not others. So I have a camera with a serial number that supposed does not require an upgrade, but it still has the problem. So now I have to deal with customer support and that whole thing. Not something I'm eager to do on a brand new product.

When the Wasabi battery is installed in the camera, you get a "Cannot communicate with the battery pack. Continue using this battery pack? Yes/No" message whenever you power up the camera, but only when you power up the camera. If you answer Yes, then you do not see the message again until you power up the camera again. If you answer No, the camera powers down. I have never run the Wasabi batteries until they lose power, so I don't know what happens when they run out of power.

Take battery out charge even though it's fully charged but charge again for a few minutes then put battery back in and that should fix the problem. It shouldn't happen again that's what happened the first time I used my camera
