Batteries dran overnight - Fujifilm Finepix A330
I just bought this camera along with Ni-mh batteries. I charged the
batteries in the smart charger and put them in the camera. I tried it out and turned it off. Next day I turned it on. The lens extended and it went dead. I reinserted the batteries. It comes on and goes off. I inserted another set of batteries and it works fine. I turned off the camera and let it set overnight. I turned it on the next day and it turned off in a couple seconds again! When I turn it off, I slide the cover fully over the lens until it clicks. It is also not connected to any cable. Sounds like a defective unit to me. Anyone else with this camera have this issue? Thanks, BG (Please reply to the group, my address is fake for spam blocking) |

I recharged the set that went flat first, put them in the flashlight, went to lunch. The light was still shining bright when I returned. From this I conclude the batteries are good. I did an RMA to return the camera hopefully the replacement works better. bg |

If you charge them, and then let them sit overnight out of the camera and
the flashlight, do they then work the next day? That will tell you for sure whether it's the batteries, although if you tried two sets, I doubt if they're the problem. It's more likely that the camera isn't actually turning off all of the way, I believe. Don "BG250" wrote in message ... "Ian Stirling" wrote in message ...
