- That could be the case, because I have left the MD11 on the FM and FE and
- both the cameras' and drive's batteries were dead. While using the MD12
- on the FE2, the drive's batteries died overnight while the camera's did
- not.
-
- However, the MD11 works fine on the FE2, but I haven't left the drive
- on overnight to check the battery situation (mainly cause I'm having too
- much fun with the Elan to use the Nikons).
-
- I think it's a poor design on Nikon's part to let the batteries drain in
- the drive.
