I have a Konica Minolta Dimage X1. After shooting
about a dozen images on a fully charged battery the camera will indicate
a low battery and shut down. Using a different, freshly charged battery I have the same
problem. I checked the battery charge with a meter after the camera shut down and
found the charge was still strong. Putting the battery back into the camera after checking
it I can shoot another dozen shots and the same thing happens. What is
going on and what is the solution?
Thanks for the information. Your analysis is what I was afraid the answer might be. It is too late to go back to the company, it is my fault I did not more aggressively go after the problem earlier.Thanks for the information. Your analysis is what I was afraid the answer might be.

Hi the problem your having is that a component on the board isnt letting the correct power come from the battery therefore giving false reading on the batt display the huge problem you have is that they dont repair these cameras it just isnt financially worth it so unless you know how to test all components on the board the chances of getting it reapired are slim to none their isnt anything you can do as it is a board problem. If you tested the battery and this is fine then the problem is deffinately with the board. How long have you had the camera if its not long then i would get a refund as repairing is something they wont do sorry i couldnt help you any more but other experts will tell you the same

I suggest you charge the battery overnight and in the morning if the LED does not change color then the Red LED on the charger only indicates that there is mains power to the charge adapter.
If this also shows up on the pictures it could be a defective Sony CCD issue. If so, Sony will fix your Minolta camera for free (with free shipping) regardless of warranty. You need to do this before March 31, 2008 so get going! See this link:
I am afraid the shutter is faulty, which means it does not get enough light from the image, however it will still print the image but not in natural light, battery is not an issue here, you can try changing new battery but i don't think the image will change, the bottom line is the camera is faulty and tell the seller for refund if possible.
It could have got wet - they dont like that.
Take batteries out - make dry and fully charged
Make sure camera if fully dry- put in a warm place to dry slowly- then try
If your friends battert worked in his camera but not in yours,That is what you said wasn't it? Then it is not a lack of power.
But a camera prolem.
The only likely fix is to replace it. But check the makers web site first.
