    I own an Olympus C-740 Ultra Zoom camera. No matter what batteries I put in it, it drains out one of the four batteries in a matter of seconds.

You should try to change the type of battery in the setting to correspond with whatever type you are using.

Use rechargeable batteries rated at 2300 ma/h or more. Forget carbon zinc (generic Eveready type battery) they wont even start my tiny Sony U20 and CR23 lithiums (2xAA) , not enough amperage and alkaline just dont last long period. I will suggest Energizer Lithium AA's, they do work pretty good. And make sure contacts are clean (use an eraser on a pencil if needed)

Internal memory full
Do you have an SD card you can insert? You can move images that are on the camera from the camera to the card, and that should open it all back up.

If that isn't the problem, try a fresh set of batteries. It could be that you have too low of power to do what you want to do, like right before the batteries die. I recommend the BLUE Energizer batteries - they do a great job in digital cameras, outlasting any other type I've tried. Just date them on the side with a Sharpie, and be surprized when they need changed the next time. Movies will drain them a little faster, but with photos, they can last quite a while. By contrast, I've had as little as 8 photos with regular alkalines before they died.

Wont stay on the blue light comes on then to set
Your problem may be due to weak/worn out batteries or corrosion on the battery contacts inside the camera which can prevent the full power of the batteries from flowing into the camera. Try this free fix before you do anything else: remove the batteries and wipe the camera contacts firmly with a dry cloth (heavy corrosion may require cleaning with a wire brush, steel wool, or sandpaper). Remove any residue that may have fallen into the battery compartment during cleaning, then wipe both ends of the batteries and place them back in the camera and charge them. This cleaning clears the problem about 90% of the time. If it doesn't work for you, your batteries may need to be replaced, or the camera may have a problem that requires professional repair.

If this response helps, please post a rating for me. A rating of "Very Helpful" would be appreciated . .

My fe-210/x-775 keeps showing battery empty even with new batteries. the camera is only a month old. sometimes it wont open, and sometimes it wont close
if it uses AA-try a set of energizer lithium batterys as a experiment-i can pull 300-500 shots on a single set-some cameras are very strange about batterys and it's trial and error w/types-own a sony and reg batterys last 20 pics and dies-lithium have been fantastic for me

Camera won't turn on
Try replacing the date/time battery located in the main battery compartment. Also, simultaneously remove the lens. This will be like a master reboot for the camera. Replace the date/time coin battery, the main battery (freshly charged) and lastly the lens.

If this doesn't work, send it in for service. If you are just slightly beyond your one year warranty, Canon may allow a grace period especially if you can provide a receipt. If you can't find a receipt, give them the approximate date of purchase when you send in the camera. You will need to call them or set up service online.

Hope this helps!

the 3 beeping sound as ou call it annoying means that the camera has low battery capacity. the lens is stuck out because there is incorrect battery connection. there is an option on the camera setting for the battery type. try this one:
-turn the camera on
-click on Menu button
-select options using left/right, up/down button
-select Set up 2
-Select Battery type
-Select Alkaline for non-rechargable
or Ni-MH for rechargable
-click OK button

this setting should be done when using camera for the first time and whenever you are switching battery types, from rechargable to non-rechargable and vice versa.
