I have a Canon A720IS that is just a couple of months out of warranty. I noticed that recently the low battery indicator pops on much sooner than it used to. Even with fresh alkaline batteries the flash indicator just blinks and it refuses to take a shot in any flash mode (auto or on) unless the batteries are removed and reinserted a couple of times. The battery contacts are clean and the memory battery is >3 volts. The camera used to work with cheap & dirty NiCads down to well under 1.2 volts and now is fussy with anything under 1.35 or so.
-   I have the same problem. I have replaced the battery and still see the low battery indicator. Help. -   Guest

-   Over the past 6 weeks, my camera has been developing the same problem, until now it doesn't take a picture at all with fresh batteries. It simply shuts down. I have tried different types of batteries, all brand new or freshly charged, and my camera is now nothing more than a paper weight.
Any suggestions?

The camera doesn't always take pictures when I press the button. This problem is about a week old. If I keep closing and opening the shutter, it sometimes will take the picture.

i have had this camera for about a year and a half and when i first got the camera i was raving to everyone over the incredible battery life i was getting. i could take hundreds of pictures with a single pair of AA's. now I am lucky to get 10 pictures before the camera shuts off and says "Change the batteries" i have tried rechargeable batteries and right out of the package energizers please tell me if there is somethign i can do.
