Power related problem in Sony digicam
I own a DSC-P52 Sony digital camera which runs on 2 standard alkaline
AA batteries. I put in two new batteries in the camera. The camera powered up and showed full charge. But within a few clicks and 5-7 mins later, the camera shut down as if there was no juice left in the batteries. It did not start up again. I tried with different batteries (not new but operating other devices). Still doesnt work. Any idea what this problem could be? |

You would probably do better with rechargeable NiMH AA cells (they hold up output voltage much longer than AA alkaline, even though they start out with slightly lower voltage). At least with NiMH cells, they can pour out enough "juice" to make the problem in the camera more visible by creating smoke (smile). Also, try turning off the camera's flash - - most other parts of the camera don't have a capability to draw a lot of current. Chuck |

Chuck I used new AA cells as well as rechargeable cells (fully charged just before use). So something in the camera must be draining the batteries or the camera fails to draw power (bad contacts maybe). I hope this does not point to a circuit problem. Other functions of the camera such as downloading from the stick work well. |
