Anyone know about problems with digital cameras?

[quote quote="Matt – DB69":z6x6kv96]some of the older digital cameras can be like that with batteries. esp rechargables, and you can ‘overcharge’ ’em too. which has adverse effects.

i’d say try a new camera, i did. and was mightily happy. they not as spennive as they used to be now-a-days[/quote:z6x6kv96]

I’ll second that..older cameras use up the batteries very fast.

[quote quote="boink":27ocueb0]Hey guys,

didn’t know who to ask so thought i’d tap your knowledge and see what happens

Anyhoo, i’ve got an Olympus digital camera, had it about 4 years or so, and whenever i put fully recharged batteries in it, after about 3 minutes the "battery empty" logo flashes up and the camera shuts down.

I thought my batteries were duff so i bought new ones, and believe me i’m charging them to the max, but it’s still happeneing so now i’m thinking my cameras wonky.

any idea why this might be happening, or what i can do to fix it?

Thanks! All the best.

Im assuming that this problem hasnt alway existed? Maybe your charger is wack. I have an older charger and its gone mental. It comletely charges the bateries right but the light to notify me that theyre done charging doesnt work right. For a while i had thought all my batteries were broken!
