The camera is digital. And After a few shots(4 only), the camera went blackout. I can still turn it on but its not taking anymore shots and it turns off again almost immediately and its not shutting down properly.
Can someone explain how I should operate it properly. In fact, I haven't had it for long, and know very little about its operation. But I need it for my studies. Two things really drain the batteries on digital cameras. Leaving the LCD on when shooting (not turning the camera off between shots) and using the lens is the other, zooming and auto-focusing.
You didn't mention what camera you are using. In any case you might want to get a spare battery to carry with you (and the charger) so you can switch in the field
Using energy saving techniques, you can make the battery last much longer. I was in the Caribbean for nine and a half weeks and shot over 8GB in images. I only had to charge my batteries once (the D100 had two batteries in the MB-D100) I'd add to fhotoace's answer: If they were "regular" alkaline batteries or not even that good, I'm not surprised. There are non-rechargeable batteries that are made for electronic devices that are much better than alkalines. Get some Energizer e2 Lithium batteries for back-ups. |
