I was wondering if leaving the battery in when not in use is a bad thing? Will it drain the battery even when off? Thanks ;)
 
Re: Do u leave your battery in?

I think leaving the battery in will neither harm the camera or the battery.
Fact is that the battery drains when left in the camera (there seams
to be some kind of leak current) and you may be stuck with an empty
battery on an important shoot.
That said, I always remove the battery from the camera when I put it
away for let's say more than a day but leave it in for shorter periods.

Me too. The problem with that is, sometimes I'm in a hurry and I get a big bite of Panasonic. :P

hahaha thats awsome, I bet those batts dont slice too well or fit on a ham sandwich. While we're on this topic, what's that little switch on the back of the battery for?

Little switch is little marker, set one way means batt charged set the other means batt empty. It does nothing

Actually if you switch to the red, your camera becomes HD quality. ;)

I heard it turns off every feature of the DVX, allowing you to emulate the PD-150. ;)
