Troubleshooting and Support
I have to
replace or
recharge the
batteries
frequently.

Display use for
video recording,
excessive flash
use, or Display
Brightness set to
High, increases
the rate of
battery drain.
See Extending Battery Life on
page 150.
The NiMH
batteries you
are using were
recharged
incorrectly, or
have drained on
their own
because they
have not been
used lately.
NiMH batteries are not fully
charged when new, and they
discharge over time whether or
not they are installed in a
camera. Batteries that are new
or have not been charged
recently must be recharged to
reach full capacity (see
page 155).
Battery
chemistry type
is inappropriate
for the way the
camera is being
used.
See Performance per Battery
Type on page 152.
The camera
batteries will
not charge.
Rechargeable
batteries are not
inserted.
Install NiMH batteries. Lithium
and Alkaline batteries cannot
be recharged.
Batteries are
already
charged.
Battery charging will not start if
the NiMH batteries were
recently charged. Try charging
them again after they have
drained a while.
