I bought this camera about 2 years ago. Very satisfied. However, the following happens now: If I don't use the camera for a while, the battery empties itself. (The camera is logically switched off). When I want to charge the battery again, the red light simply flashes, i.e. the battery is not charging. I have already bought a new battery twice - always the same. I have never had this with a camera before - is this a defect? Why is it like this? Experiences?

Question

Answer

I have exactly the same problem.

Every time I don't use the camera for a long time, the battery goes flat and can't be recharged. 
A red light flashes as long as the charging cable is plugged in. But even after several hours, the battery cannot be charged.
I have already taken the camera to Digitec twice for repair. Both times it came back with a full battery and the comment that no problem could be detected. The battery had simply been used up...

Now I have the problem for the third time and hope that I can exchange the camera.
