I am having a problem with my digital camera plz help [鈾?

My digital camera is supposed to have 2 AA batteries in it. We have had these rechargables batteries and that works 2. My bro accidentally threw away the recharable ones so normally regular ones would work, so that is what i tried 4 now. But when I put the regular batteries in, it still says [batteries depleted. camera is shutting down] then it turns off. i dont know whats goin on?? can u plz help! i would highly appreciate that. help as fast as u can!!! thnx [鈾

This is for you, Mike-Skully **
I woudl try that, but once I turn it on, it turns right back off. Thanks for trying, though. Have any other ideas?

Some digital cameras just can't survive with regular AA batteries. I would recommend getting some more NiMH batteries. They last longer, provide more mili-amps and are rechargable.

If it is a Pentax digital camera, you may be able to use another kind of battery that works WAY better than both of these, but they aren't extremely common and they can be expensive.

CRV3 is the name of the battery. You should be able to find them where cameras are sold.

maybe only the recharable ones work, try using those

Battery Depleted dosen't mean low battery it means Memory and battery failure.turn the camera on wait 20 seconds,turn it off wait 20seconds.it should work then.that always happens to mine.any more problems contact me and ill see what i can do!.

Buy a pair of e2 Energizer lithium batteries, which have higher output for digital cameras.

digicams usually requires higher power batteries and cheap regular AA's for pocket radios/flashlights don't work. try using alkalines or those specifically used for power hungry electronics, they're more expensive but will provide enough juice for your dgital camera.

Get new rechagables or try lithiums.

buy more rechargables

Rechargeable batteries have a much larger capacity (they can give out more electric current per hour) than regular batteries. Your camera requires more current than the regular cells are able to supply. Your camera is probably fine,but you'll need to get rechargeable AA cells from your camera shop.
