It was working fine all day I had a battery with full charge in tooka bout 50 shots and then just turned off, it was a very wet day but tried to keep it dry where I could but a little moisture may have got in?
Try another battery first. Many of the cheap Chinese batteries won't hold a charge.
Otherwise it sounds like you might have water damage to the circuit board that his shorting out the battery

Try this: with the battery installed and battery door open, take a pencil, fine tip screwdriver, or anything long and skinny and push the tip of it into the little nub circled in the picture here. There's a spring inside that little nub... keep the spring depressed and try to turn on the camera. If it works, then either a small piece of plastic broke off the battery door or the nub got broken/pushed in too far for the battery door to trigger it. Try using a dab of hot glue to keep the nub pushed into the down position.

Some of The Canon Powershot A530 and A540 cameras are subject to an advisory recall. Seems that a small spring on the battery compartment door can short out the batteries. Suspect this of yours, in that you mention that your batteries aren't lasting long. If your camera is on the list, Canon should fix this for you for free, including free shipping both ways. This is regardless of your camera's warranty status. Please check the following link for more info:

This error is either a flash circuit or a lens error. One of the two need replacement.

Hello,
You can give it to an expert for repair, he can repair it for less as there must be just a fuse problem, which can be fixed for a very less amount.

Your battery pack is made up of cells.
If one of the cells is bad or low, then the camera will work - but the battery level sensor KNOWS that the voltage level is low.
It will work for some time... then finally fail. A nut (like me) would take the pack apart and zap the bad cell by discharging a large capacitor across the weak cell. I have added a year or more to a battery pack by doing that.
