I use rechargeable Nickel Metal Hydride batteries in my Olympus D-560
camera. And recharge on an Energizer Class 2 charger. The batteries loose
their charge very quickly whether in or out of the camera. If I want to use
the camera after about a week or so, batteries are gone and so are the
standby batteries. Is this normal? What can I do to have a ready camera?

How old are the batteries? Re-chargeable batteries have a finite life and
eventually begin to fail and lose their charge rapidly. If this is the case
then just throw them away and replace them - they are cheap enough. If the
batteries are fairly new then I would suggest that you have problems with
the charger - Ni-Mh batteries should not lose power as rapidly as this.
