I was given this digital camera a few days ago. I bought new batteries for it and it was working fine until I plugged it into my computer with the USB cord. Now, the low battery light is coming on, and the camera shuts off. The camera was used, but the batteries are new. Should I be using rechargeable batteries or is there something wrong with the camera? It could be that the batteries have been discharged. Try to recharge/get a new battery and see what happen. rechargeable batteries This is the reason we use card readers to copy our images to our computers and buy cameras that use Li-ion batteries. |
