If so, I assume you store them with the shutter left uncocked, lest the battery be exhausted by an accidental pressure on the shutter button. (I haven't actually had this happen to me, but perhaps the bag in which I keep the camera is extra roomy or something.) -- Anthony - ------ =_NextPart_001_01BF102A.600342D0 Content-Type: text/html Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 3.2//EN"> <HTML> <HEAD> <META HTTP-EQUIV=3D"Content-Type" CONTENT=3D"text/html; = charset=3Dus-ascii"> <META NAME=3D"Generator" CONTENT=3D"MS Exchange Server version = 5.0.1460.9"> <TITLE>RE: [Leica] oh dang!
