The Sony cyber shot DSC-S500 is not getting powered on. I also bought new Everready AA rechargable batteries. But still it just goes on and shuts down in a second. What to so

if you are so technicaly inclined you need to open the camera and replace the button battery on the board. the symptoms of your problem are due to a boot test regarding the hardware clock, since the button battery is dead it can't keep time and shuts off before it frys its self.

Digital Camera Problem - Shutting Off - Lens Not Retracting ?

If your digital camera shuts off sporadically or begins to malfunction, the fix could be as simple as replacing your batteries!

I was using AA rechargeable batteries when my camera starting acting up. My husband suggested that the batteries might be bad. While they were not new, they had only taken about 20 recharges over the years. I mistakenly thought they'd last for hundreds of charges despite age. As it turns out, rechargeable batteries have a shelf life.

Also, I had been storing my rechargeable batteries in the camera between uses. Remember, it is wise to remove any type of battery from the device if it will not be used for an extended period. This should help to extend the life cycle of your batteries.

Result: Upon installation of new, freshly-charged rechargeable batteries, my camera worked perfectly.

Using up batteries in two days

if you are using "AA" size, do NOT use typical alkalines in your camera, they die too fast. Buy rechargable NiMH batteries and a charger at Walmart or somewhere. These will hold a charge longer for you. Also be sure to turn off teh camera when not shooting because the camera is always draining battery life when "on."

Camera turns on for 2 seconds or wont turn on at all.

There is no hardware reset on this model. We have many situation on different make digital cameras that uses AA batteries that would not turn on with some other AA batteries due to Amp requirement on the batteries. Which means that some circuit design would work only with rechargable batteries because they have more power due to higher Amp power. So I would try rechargable batteries for the last resort. -James

Camera shuts itself immediately after starting it

Did you try using the coolpix batteries that came along with the camera? check the ratings on coolpix batteries and compare them to the batteries that you are using now.

Even with new batteries and they go dead before I take 3 pictures

Yes, there is definitely a fault with your camera. You should be able to return it for a replacement. I wouldn't experiment too much with batteries in this camera. batteries discharging this quickly are likely to overheat, causing unmentionable catastrophe.

Battery/power-up problem

For what its worth I had this same problem with both rechargeables and alkcalines. Fresh batteries were rejected after just a few shots and were clearly NOT dead. Solution seems to be either use Sony's NP-NH25 cybershot battery which is made of two AA batteries jointed at the hip or use generic rechargeable NiMh batteries with a capacity superior to Sony's battery (>2500mAh).

If the camera wont turn on remove the memory card and make sure your pictures are transfered. Try using regular disposable batteries. Also when trying to turn it on try holding down the power button for 5 seconds. If it still doesnt turn on coud be a broken switch connection.

Testimonial: "The five seconds press after taking batteries out and also the memory card, putting back in and now it works great. Thanks so much for you help."
