My camera just does not seem to hold a good

First May I ask what Type of battey are you using? Lithum or Ni-MH

actualy the recommended battery that you can use is AA Ni-MH rechargeable or the KAA2HR Ni-Mh battery.,I assure you it will solve the short battery life of your camera.

Now in cased that you are using the Ni-Mh, How long you been already used It? if more than 2-3 years you may need to recondition the battery or purchase new Ni-Mh it means that the chemical contents of the battery is already crystallized. Gudluck!

Some digital camera **** the life out of batteries, especially the older ones, even when off. It stores info like date and time etc. I take the batteries out when I am not using it for a while. True it is a pain resetting the time but it saves the batteries. Also go for the top line rechargebles,
