I've had a olympus camida digital camera for two years now and it just began having this problem with the batteries. Lately, my camera has been going through to double A batteries every single day when usually they could last for a couple of weeks. Is there a way to fix this problem, or is my camera just messed up?

Re:
No, its the fact that batteries nowadays are getting less value for money, the best thing to use is rechargeable batteries, as they are more powerfull and last probably twice as long as normal batteries.

The reason you are still getting this error despite the fact that you've placed a new fully charged battery means that the battery is not compatible with the camera. The fact that it states this is because the battery isn't capable of handling the Olympus camera. I would suggest for you to buy a recommended battery pack by Olympus, or a rechargeable battery pack to avoid these errors.
Firstly check your charger. I was having problems with my batteries packing up after about 1 hours use. Now I only charge 2 at a time (its a 4 battery charger) and the problem is no more. There is a limited life on batteries, check how old they are and if you've had them more than 3 or 4 years, I suggest you buy replacements. John
Please check if the digital camera batteries in it are effective,if the battery have compatibility problem ,no strong enough power or voltage,the refered satuation maybe happen.Change the olympus battery for a new one ,then try again. After use some years ,the olympus battery life usually end.
Unfortunately, all digital cameras with zoom and flash eat up batteries pretty fast. The best thing you can do is buy backup batteries, and have them when you have some serious shooting to do. Also, rechargeable batteries don't last forever, and start losing energy after awhile. You can order batteries at a great price by shopping on ebay. Good luck!
Yes. Like all rechargeable batteries they don't last forever and four years is longer than I'd expect.
Replace them with new batteries. You need a 3v lithium ion CR-V3 and if you're in the UK I highly recommend buying them from the Small Battery Company, but they are widely available. Avoid generic "no-name" brands as good quality examples are not very expensive.

My new camera seems to be eating away at my batteries. I have only had it since xmas and already have been through about 20 batteries. Is my camera faulty?
