    Hi,

    I am having same problem with two S73s I have. I have tried several sets of batteries, but I can't use camera because I get Low Battery message after pressing power button.

    i tried this suggestion and the camera does everything right but still says that the batteries are low and turns off

    I am experiencing almost the same problem with my daughter's new camera. We have purchased 3 pairs of brand new batteries (alkaline, rechargeable, and lithium) and can NOT get the camera to power up enough to try the fix it solution suggested (turn on, reset, choosing battery type)- all the camera does is beep. Strangely enough, the pair of batteries that were in it when the camera started giving "low battery" message gives just enough juice to display that message, before going blank again and beeping. If you have suggestions, please post before I have to mail for repair.

    Samsung camera S73 - blue. Put new batteries in it and it says low battery.

    My daughter has a blue Samsung S73 7.2 mega pixel and 2.5 lcd and she is having the same problem with the camera. She puts in new regular batteries and her camera says low battery and then it turns off. She has tried a pair of rechargeable batteries from one of our cameras and it still does the same thing. She only got this camera in December for Christmas and she is ready to throw it out the window. And I'm not too happy about it either.

    i cant charge my camera.everytime i try to charge it or turn it on it just shuts off again!!??

  • quackston Dec 16, 2008

    I tried switching the camera setting to the NiMH setting and that helped some, but it is still only staying on a few minutes even with fresh alkaline batteries.  Won't stay on for more than a few seconds with brand new and freshly charged NiMH batteries.

    I have had my camera since March and when ever i turn it on it turns right back off i set the setting to NiMH and have rechargeble batteries and it still does not stay on i have even bought the energizer NiMH batteries and still nothing what do i do?

OKAY PLEASE READ

i got samsung s730 the screen would turn white after i use the cam for more then 30 minutes at a time and the lens would stay extended when it turn off

i hold the picture preview button (looks like arrow point to right in box that square) i hold that, then the lens go back inside and "NO Image!" screen come up, i let it sit at that screen with charged ni-mh batteries, if the screen goes black i do it again, took 5 times, then i power up no problem for 30 minutes again

my guess is the flash cell (the photo cell battery inside) is being charged that way, and is used some what for when you use the camera, thats why i always use PROGRAM MODE with AEB selected.

Hi,
I just called Samsung support about the issue. The solution technical support offered seems to have fixed my problem. Here's what the solution was:

1. Press the button that shows the last picture taken. It is a triangle inside of a box.
2. Now you should see the last picture taken on the back display. Press the Menu button. This is a round button towards the bottom.
3. Use the bigger round button that surrounds the menu button to select Setup2.
4. Under Setup2, navigate down to Battery Type and change from Alkaline to Ni-MH.
5. Exit menu.
6. Now try to the power button.

    Hi Again,
    I saw another post suggesting using NiMH rechargeable batteries. I already had a charger so I bought some everyready batteries, charged them and put them both the S73 cameras my kids have. So far so good.

Wont take a pic and it hasd a flashing red eye

Hi kv,

Normally that would indicate the flash capacitor building enough of a charge to trigger. If the batteries are getting low, this can take a while. The camera may even shut itself off.

Make sure you have good fresh batteries in your camera.

As an alternative, try turning off the flash completely and trying it. That will either confirm it, or make me look like an idiot.

Best regards
Mike

Hello. My daughter has had her samsung S73 for 3

The eye flashing is normal when the flash is trying to charge up , if the batteries are healthy the camera won`t take a picture until the flash is charged fully.Try turning the flash off and see if the camera fires, get some higher rated rechargeable batteries (2000mah) or above this may resolve your problem.

Samsung S73 batteries

How long do you keep the batteries in the camera? When the batteroes stay long a liquid oozes out that may reduce the amount of power reaching the camera. clean battery contacts in the camera with an abrasive substance e.g. sand paper and then clean with alcohol or ethanol obtained from the chemist.

I want to set my Samsung s73 camera back to the factory settings.

You Can Change The Size Of The Picture By Clicking The +/- Button And There You Can Select The Size Used In The Memory For The Picture But You Cannot Change The MegaPixels Used Becase MegaPixels Just Mean The Quality Of The Picture

Began with "low battery". Replaced with new ones. took 3 photos, again message "low battery. Replaced batteries again. Same thing. NOW, , AND BIGGEST PROBLEM CAN'T GET POWER . LENS WON'T RETRACT, POWER...

Hi there.
You may not like this solution, but it's real anyway. Average low-end digital camera life span is approximately 2 years depending on how much you use it. They vary between manufacturer. Low-end cameras ($100. to $200. range) have an approximate 1500 to 3000 shutter clicks which equates to about 1 cent per photo. Granted, more expensive cameras equal more shutter clicks and thusly and lower cost ratio. So, I'm sorry to say that you have just about hit the life span of your device. It would cost more to fix than to purchase a new one.
I hope this helps you, but no one here can suggest a "fix" for it. Thanks for coming to FixYa, and feel free to rate my solution.
