Hello - If one of your four AA batteries (alkaline or rechargeable) exploded or even leaked you must get every trace of the stuff that the battery leaked into the battery compartment out.
That said, the materials inside batteries are extremely toxic and I strongly suggest that unless you have experience with such materials you take it to a local camera shop to get an estimate on what it would cost to fix.
It's a nice camera and if the repair cost is prohibitive you can find a used one in good condition on a place like Ebay for about $150.
The SP-320 uses standard AA batteries, disposable or rechargeable. If you want to use rechargeables, you should be able to find chargers at any department, electronics, or office-supply store. You can't use the camera itself as a charger, however.
Are you sure you put them in with the correct polarity facing the right way. Its a common mistake. Also try a "known" set of batteries just to make sure. Good luck
Take a look in your camera's menus. There should be a place where you can select rechargeable or non-rechargeable batteries. That setting enables or disables the battery charging circuit. If you are using rechargeable batteries, the camera must be set accordingly so that the battery charger will turn on. If you are using
Alkaline batteries such as Duracell or other types of non-rechargeable batteries the charger must be disabled. If you do not set that parameter correctly, you will get the symptoms you describe.
Hi, have olympus fe-280 camera. Battery on screen shows full but shows empty (an inch strip) in middle. I have charged it. Even bought a new battery. Can anyone help. Thank you. ...... I want thinking I may have two faulty batteries and just need to buy another one?!
Hey donoman, I am going on the assumption that these batteries are not new. Most rechargeable batteries lose their ability to hold a charge after time, and it might be time to invest in new batteries. Another cause of this could be that you are mixing older batteries with newer batteries, and by doing this the length of the charge is dependent on the weakest battery. Things that significantly affect battery life are camera flash, LCD screens, and battery temperature (the lower the temperature the quicker the battery will drain). Another thing to consider is when a rechargeable battery starts to fail they fail quickly, where disposable batteries generally have a longer life and drain at a more constant rate.

It Needs a Lithium battery- only lithiums have the density to cope with the demand - no need to buy expensive Olympus Originals Try www.sevendayshop.com for starters Plenty of sellers out there.
