Hello...I'm a newbie to this forum and I have a question that maybe you good people can answer...
I bought a used EOS 3 w/PB-E2 batter grip from Adorama.com and I installed new fully charged HiMD batteries yesterday around 2pm and was playing with the camera to familiarize myself the the controls and features. I worked each aspect of the camera; single shot, high speed, etc...for about 1/2 and turned the camera off. When I turned it back on around 10pm the batteries were completely drained. Before I went to bed I put all eight of the AA rechargables back in the charger, this morning only four of the eight show a full charge and the other four still charging.
I've never seen a camera drain batteries so quickly and completely as this one did which leads me to believe that maybe the camera or the battery grip is defective.
I put conventional non-rechargable batteries in this morning to see if maybe I got a bad batch of rechargables. So far I the regular batteries have not discharged all the way...yet.
Any ideas?
