****Battery problem Fix****

A quick note to other owners of the coolpix 3100. I have been having the same battery problem as all the others above me and have a simple fix. I have had to replace the nikon batteries with new ones (which have a better capacity anyway) and have upgraded the firmware with the latest version from Nikons website. As soon as I did this I was able to shoot up to 150 shots with the flash and used the zoom unnecessarily trying to kill the batteries. This has completely fixed the camera and I wish I had looked into this problem earlier. I was only getting about 10 shots from the same batteries before the upgrade. I am once again happy with this little camera.
