Just curious --- did you ever figure out the problem?

No, just have left Alkalines in for the time being; will play more
later. One IDEA I have from comments is that I may have put them in
and immediately turned the camera on, not allowing for any internal
caps (or whatever circuitry) to charge. When I tried them on the
brand new camera and later read the book, I ASSUMED that perhaps
higher voltage was required to charge the internal clock battery.

I'll post more in several weeks after more opportunity; right now, my
wife has the camera oogling the quality vs the old Mavica she had at
school.

Like everyone who is telling you, forget the AC adapter and get the NiMh
batteries and charger. Costco has a good deal on a quick and small
Panasonic package.

I just bought an A75, planning to use NiMH cells; none of the 4 sets I
have, all fully charged and which work fine in other equipment, work
in the camera; is there a setting for battery type I've missed? I'm
told, when I install freshly charged cells, to "replace batteries".
