Problem with canon powerShot SX100IS: when i start to make fotos, it shuts down and i see the message: change batteries,i put new one, it does the same ( sometimes after one or 2 photos) ! why?

There is an internal battery that you cannot replace. IT has to be sent into service.

Try this: remove the batteries and memory card....press every button...leave it alone for 20 minutes...insert the battery and then the card....turn it on.

SD cards max out at 2GB. The SX100IS can also use SDHC cards, which max out at 32GB.

Couldn't find a firmware upgrade for my Canon PowerShot A720. Tried putting a piece of rubber under the spring on the lid to make it tighter and it helped because I can take more pictures before I get the dead battery message (even thought they aren't dead). I bought the Duracell that you can check the charge on because I'm sure I've wasted dozens of batteries by now.

Hi,
Yes your camera will give images with 300dpi . You need to set the dimension as 3264 x 2448.

Hope this helps.

Lens errors are fairly common. Usually it's sand or grit interfering with the lens extension mechanism. Or the camera's been dropped with the lens extended. Or the camera has been powered on, but the lens had been blocked preventing its extension. Or the battery ran down with the lens extended ...

Don't want to get your hopes up too high, but here are some things that you can do to try to correct it. They only seem to work for about 40% of the lens errors, but if the camera is out of warranty, they're worth a try.

put batteries in very carefully - not bouncing them in. If you get the 'change the batteries message' then open the battery cover turn the camera a little gently to reposition the batteries and hopefully it should go away. Test your charger too ... is it charging? is it the same thing with non-rechargeable batteries?remember Batteries don't work well when cold this could cause the camera to shutdown. It might also be that the auto shut down setting is too short unless it is shutting down while you are actually shooting.make sure you are using the correct battery type and match.clean the contacts in the battery compactment.hope this helps

hey, i had same problem.. after i started using energizer ultimate lithium AA it started lasting weeks

Clean front and back + - terminals in camera careful with fine emery paper. Also, MAKE sure batteries are not loose if they are they will not make the connection. Fine jeweler screwdriver will pick them out enough.VERY CAREFUL.I truly think this is it.regards Billy

simple! with my Canon S90 had the same problem until I changed the SD card from LEXAR for a TOSHIBA SD card and the message " Change the Battery Pack"disappeared.
