  Your FujiFilm Digital Camera battery might be draining quickly due to several reasons. It could be that you're using the camera in extremely cold conditions; in that case, try warming the battery in your pocket before use. The terminals might be soiled, so wipe them with a clean, dry cloth. Or, the battery might simply be flat, requiring you to load a new, fully charged battery.
