Hi there,
I have owned the Canon A 95 for almost 2 years now. Since a couple of weeks back its not been working at all. It keeps saying "Change Batteries" even after i put in a new set of batteries. After a few seconds of turning it on, it says Change Batteries and shuts off. Triedputting in new batteris a few times but still no luck. Any help would be highly appreciated!

You need to use 2100 mAH or 2300 mAh rechargeable batteries - alkaline batteries will not maintain the high level of power required.

Yes, my A95 in 3 years old and it suddenly started doing the same thing. The strange thing is that if you switch to picture review mode (instead of taking a picture) the batteries appear to last for ages... even though it's the LCD that's supposed to consume the most energy! If the battery level sensor didn't switch the camera off I think it would be fine.

Ok.. did you guys try a reset? Just remove the batteries, wait for 60 seconds then put them back in.. that should reset the camera..

Mine just started doing the same thing. The batteries test out as good, but it shuts down as soon as I try to take a picture. Any answers?
I have exactly the same problem with my A95...any suggestions
I have exactly the same problem........ Help............
Exact same problem here! Three years old and just started acting up. I can review photos, but get "change batteries" when in photo mode...
Any success? I have the same problem and the camera is unusable now.
same here can anyone help out!!!!!!!!
same problem. I can get a few pictures out of it if I turn off the flash, but even if I'm in auto and it doesn't use the flash, the camera with brand new batteries dies within minutes
Has anyone found a solution to this problem? I have it too. Today I got 32 pictures on a full charge of brand new 2400mAh good quality batteries, before it said "Charge The Batteries" and turned itself off almost immediately. It used to go for hundreds of pictures on a charge until a week or two ago when something happened to it. I don't know what though -- it wasn't dropped, wet, damaged, etc.
I've had my A95 for about 3.5 years, it's worked perfectly without any problems. I've taken somewhere in the range of 25,000 photos with it, so it doesn't owe me a thing, but I'd like to keep using it if I could. I'd appreciate any thoughts or suggestions people might have.
Same problem. This camera is **** anyway, I'm buying a NIKON.
same problem! I can take picture but soon after the camera shuts down. I am sure the battery is good.
Hi, I am balwant from Delhi. I have the same problem. I previously thought it's a battery problem. But Even after installing new set of chargeable batteries, it's performance was very poor. It took nearly 25 snaps for first time charge. After that Even I recharge my batteries, it's flashes message "Change the batteries".
Please help
"Change Batteries" message appears after about 5 minutes of usage. Need fix.
