Canleikon, I fully agree that these cameras have to go. However, I would not sell them to anyone until I know where the problem lies. I have checked several batteries and they all register in the "good" range when tested in a meter that draws current during the test. It may be that the camera requires much more current than the meter and therefore gives a false reading for this use.These batteries are Duracell with an experation date of 2014, and therefore several years old and unable to put out the required amps. Only a guess.I tied one of the batteries in a brand new never used Minolta Vectis and got the same result. Therefore it appears that the next thing to try is a much newer CR-2 battery and see what happens. I hope someone else can offer some suggestion before I part money for a battery just to test. |
