My digital camera shuts off within seconds after turning it on. What gives?

Even with a fresh pair of batteries.

Almost certainly batteries that are just about dead. Digital cameras are tough on batteries. If you bought cheap batteries, even fresh ones can go dead after very few shots. Try name brand, heavy duty alkaline batteries.

I don't know,mine only does that when the batteries are bad,make sure the new batteries are actually good,too.

u mite have to hold the on button 4 a second longer or theres a nother button

Maybe it needs repaired

that happen to me once it happen cause my bro used a select a volt charger thing and set it to high and it must overpowered it

battery....

take a close look at what capacity of batteries u have brought

may be the AH(ampere hour) less

for digital camera it is mah(mili ampere hour)

MAY BE IT WILL WORK
