Konica Revio KD-400Z. Internal battery appears to have expired meaning I have to reset date etc. each time I remove either the l-ion battery or the SD for downloading. Can I fit new internal battery and if so how? Or who can repair? Can find no information on Net. Can you help?

First the bad news. Konica got out of the camera business in 2006...all service is now handled by Sony. The internal battery is not user replaceable. It is a rechargeable battery that recharges itself from the regular battery. It takes about 3 hours to accomplish this. If you remove the main battery for 24 hours, the internal completely runs down and all date and time settings are lost. If after setting them again, you don't leave the fully charged main battery in the camera for at least 3 hours, they will disappear again.
