So i recently bought a Sony TX5 camera. I really love the pictures and movies it takes. It really is a great cam. I use it mainly at parties and big events.

The camera fits my pocket perfectly however i have one problem. There doesnt seem to be a way to lock the camera buttons, and sometimes the camera starts filming, and when i need to use the camera, the batteri is drained dead.. Did i miss some secret lock function in the manual or what should i do to avoid this? I really dont wanna buy a cover for it, but it seems like the only solution right now, and even that might not be completely safe. Also that ruins the concept of the camera..

Solution??

do you mean when in a pocket or purse the slide will be pushed down and something will press the button to make it start filming?
How would it work if the slide cover is up?

That being said my wife experienced a similar thing recently.
