You should try covering the two small test terminals in the battery compartment with electrical tape but this was a problem only on the very first cameras. I would only send it to the distributor as they will have access to the latest service info and parts. Unfortunately the repair may be expensive. Can you return it or at least involve the seller in the repair?
