    1. Check battery voltage, preferably while in the camera.

    2. Check battery holders for signs of leakage or corrosion.

    3. Check battery polarity. There should be + and - signs in the camera.

    4. Look in manual to see if there is a reset procedure.

    5. Save the new batteries for an E-Bay replacement camera.
