Hi all,
Just wondering if this sounds normal to you lot?
I have a Fujifilm S9600 and I'm really happy with it, except for a few small niggles which I'm not sure are normal.

First of all, the internal battery. I can't access it to replace, but it doesn't seem to be able to hold its charge for more than an hour or so? Everytime I come to replace my main battery (granted sometimes it can be a week or two), the internal battery is flat and all of my settings have been lost.

Second. Since I bought the camera, the AF motor has been pretty darn noisey. I'm not sure how loud they're supposed to be, but suffice to say that it is very audible, especially so when recording video (which I don't do too much of).

I ask these questions because my camera is about 10 months old now, and if there is something wrong and it need to go back, I'd rather do it now while it's in warrenty!

Cheers.
 
I would be tempted to end it back just for the internal battery problem - although if it's anything like my S5600 you need the battery's to be fairly good to keep the settings anyway....however they were always ok for a good couple of weeks!
