Sony H1 - Extremely fast battery drainage

[boreboor]

Hi guys, I'm facing some problems with my Sony H1 camera. The drainage on the battery is extremely fast now. When I use the rechargeable Sony batteries, within 20 minutes, it will go flat. So I thought it was due to the battery, but when I used Energizer Alkaline batteries, the same thing happens too.

So does the problem lie with my camera?

Give another try on other newer rechargeable batteries, alkaline batteries are known to be not very efficience on digital camera or high drain operation.

While rechargeable battery (esp 2500MAh or higher) are known to have problem retaining charges after sometime.

Although it could be due to camera problem also, but just give it another try to rule out the batteries issue.
