NEX-3 battery runs down when camera off

[jj_gilham]

My Nex-3 has recently started completely depleting the battery when turned off.  It will go from 100% to 0% in about 48 hours with the camera off. 

I had version 1 of the firmware and this morning I  installed version 3 of the firmware to see if this fixes the problem.  Does anyone have any information on this?

The battery drain problem was fixed in Version 2.0 firmware upgrade.  This is incorporated in Version 3.0

I found this fixes the problem completely.

The firware I loaded last night was referred to as 1.3 - is this the same as the Version 3.0 upgrade?

I'll report tomorrow on if the firmware fixed my issue.

thanks,

jeff

It appears the upgrade to 1.3 solved the problem.  I checked this morning and the battery was still at 100% so problem solved!

Thanks for the information
