- I would suspect that the problem is in the battery. Put a new battery in the
- battery compartment. Observe the location of the + and - battery contacts. You
- might try cleaning the battery contacts within the battery housing first.
-
- The battery compartment is located in the front of the camera body just below
- the camera's "trigger". It is covered by a small door which is held closed by a
- latch that under ideal conditions can be opened with a fingernail.
-
- If it is not the battery then maybe a new used body may be less expensive than
- repair..... maybe.
