has this happened to any of you~?

Answer 1

maybe you need to charge it.,

Answer 2

You're probably using the wrong type of batteries. Ordinary alkaline type batteries are not good enough to run a digital camera for long, so you should either buy rechargeable NiMH (high capacity, 2500mAh) or non rechargeable lithium such as Energizer Ultimate Lithium....if you want longer battery life.

Answer 3

Answer 4

If it is a digital camera, the problem could be the kind of batteries you are using.  Just regular batteries often will not be strong enough.  You need the special electronic AA batteries for digital cameras.  They wil have a special mark on them that says e or something like that.  Some people also recommend the rechargeable batteries because they last longer.  

And yes, it has happened to me.  I got better batteries and that took care of the problem.
