Have exactly the same prob, my camera worked for 3 years without any probs, except that the alkaline batteries didn't have a long life...tried rechargeable batteries as well, but since three weeks ago it simply says, "batteries depleted", nothing works, tried everything...sending it to Pentax after the warranty is over is far more expensive than buying a new cam...really sorry for that, but don't think I gonna buy a new Pentax again...

I have exactly the same problem with my s50. Do I need stronger batteries. Camera shopkeeper couldnĀ“t come up with a solution. Is this maybe a persistent problem among the s50-series?

Suddenly NO new Battery works either rechargable or conventonal.......just says battery depleted. If I tap it or jiggle it as I turn it on it might work (amazingly with full battery showing) one time in ten. Time to junk the thing. Sorry folks, this camera is no good!!!!
