It sounds like you either have a bad battery, battery charger or maybe the battery has dirty connections. Try another set of batteries and if it still happens let me know.

Sigma SD10 battery problems, possible solution.
If you find you have to reset the date and time, the internal battery has been depleted. If the new batteries indicate you cannot take more than a few pictures with the battery showing greatly discharged, the following procedure may correct the problem.
Put new or recharged batteries in the compartment. Take one or two pictures and if the battery indicator shows about 50%, just turn the camera off and let sit over night. In all probabilities the camera internal battery will be recharged and all will be well. Depending on the camera, you may prefer to leave it on all night.
Sigma thought the problem was a bad battery holder and they are shipping me a new one but I don’t think this was my problem, maybe others may have that problem. My camera is fixed with the above procedure.

hey i bought one second hand for $80nzd and its doing the same thing, although for me the red light starts flashing after the oregon scientific logo screen shows, and aswell as the flashing light theres just a black screen.
so what works for me is, i repeatedly click the select button untill the viewfinder shows then its ok to take pictures. the time it takes untill the viewfinder shows depends on the amount the battery is charged.
hope that helped

We bought new battries for our canon power shot S51S when newly charged batteries would only give us about a dozen shots before the camera said change battries. The same thing has happened with the new battries. Now we will check the charger before going any further.

Exact same problem.
Even bought a new battery and 1 picture and it shuts off.
Maybe there is an internal battery?
I don't want to throw the camera away..

I just purchased the Mustek DV5300SE DIGICAM 3MP . Digital Camera today. After playing with it for 10 minutes, learning the controls, the battery dies. I put a fresh set in and take 2 pics, and they die again. I have checked the contacts on the camera and they are fine.I checked the leads on the batteries and they too are fine...only dead. Now I am scratching my head. Any suggestions?

I have same problem, but purchased new NB-2l battery and now the camera will not power up with either battery. New battery showing 4.2 volts on multimeter. I know that there is a switch that must be engaged when battery cover is closed. Thinking maybe this switch is bad. Any thoughts?

Battery reads ok, take picture or two
Battery reads HALF
Turn off
Take battery tray out
Wait a few seconds
Put tray back
Turn on camera
WALLA, FULL Battery
Do over!

I bought the iSonic Snapbox DC-520 and I am having the same problem. I only enjoy this camera for a couple of weeks and since I bought on vacation I cannot go back and demand a refund. So I bought garbage.
Comment by saltchuck, posted on Nov 08, 2007
I have a EX-Z1000 and every time I turn it on, within 5-10seconds of powering up the "Low battery indicator" displays in the lower left side. The camera will stay on, however as I try to take a picture, the BATTERY IS LOW message displays and the camera shuts off. I have purchased 2 new Casio NP-40 batteries and two new OPTEX L14000 universal lithium Ion battery chargers (www.gentec-intl.com) I have made sure all the battery connections are clean. My camera is useless until I fix this problem. Can anyone please help me?

Yea, I have the same problem and have also purchased a new battery but the camera acts as if its dead?
