Your friendly reminder to remove the battery from the camera when not in use
Since I got two G9 IIs, I use my other cameras relatively rarely. My G81 often sits in the display case for long periods. Yesterday, I wanted to use it again, but when I pressed the eject button, the battery wouldn't pop out. Tapping and shaking didn't help either. Only after some probing, combined with a thin knife, did it work 😄
And there it was: the battery was swollen. You can't see it very well in the photo, but that one millimeter was enough to make the battery incredibly tight. Luckily, it hadn't expanded any further, otherwise it would have been even more jammed.
