Any suggestions on how to fix a digital camera that shuts off when you try to take a picture?
I have a digital camera basic model, has a zoom lens, I have replaced the batteries a few times now but that has not resolved the problem: When ever I turn it on it works fine and I can view pictures but as soon as I hit the button to take it it turns off. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
It only takes 2 AA batteries so I have no control over what the battery charge is, and it never shows that the battery is low. It just turns off when I hit the picture button
Camera reports batteries low, but is it low charge or bad electrical contacts? Overcharging can ruin good batteries! The secret to making digital cameras work better is having good electrical contacts between batteries and camera.
Digital cameras require lots of power. Bad electrical contacts can cause lots of problems so battery and camera contacts must be cleaned properly. Batteries may be fully charged, but will be viewed as low if contacts are not really good. The LCD screen is a low steady load, but when lens extension, optical zoom, focus, and flash charging are added in the capture mode; the load is very heavy. Bad contacts make cameras do strange things like making bad pictures or shutting off with the lens out.
CAUTION Do not overcharge! Batteries can be severely damaged. Use an automatic two or more hour Energizer Compact smart charger with safety timer, temperature monitor, and trickle charge technology ($9.76) at Walmart. For longer life, use Duracell 2000mAh batteries and a full cycle charge monthly. To preserve battery charge, use the view finder and not the LCD screen when possible.
The ultimate non-physical repair for DVD players and other software-using digital devices is reset by removing power up to one month. Digital cameras reset to original settings if batteries are removed. Time required varies with function and camera. Try one minute. Check display and setup menu for non-auto functions and date/time. Remove extra memory to eliminate this as a possible problem. Insert fully charged batteries and restart the camera.
