I got my F5 in mid-January and put in 8 new lithium AA's in it, which are
supposed to last 250 rolls. I've shot about 15 since then and they're
already dead. I did accidentally leave the camera on twice overnight, but
there was nothing that was keeping the meter activated. The camera didn't
give me a battery-low warning until it was flashing and the shutter
wouldn't fire. What's wrong?
I've heard bits and pieces of stories of F5 battery drain. The camera is 5
weeks old - is my camera affected? I would have thought that Nikon had
fixed this already...
