Depleted Battery Message Pentax Optio E40

SOURCE: Depleted Batteries

I had the same problem...
I tried several different types of batteries.
The only one that I found that works is rechargeable batteries.
I am using the ones that came with my Logitech mouse/keboard, so, I just use the mouse to recharge the batteries when needed.
Other rechargeables don't work...
these are :

Ni-MH AA 1400 mAh 1.2 volt
made by L&K

The built-in memory only has about 8 pictures or so. You have to buy a memory card to insert in the same section where the batteries are inserted.

HI. this seems to be a battery scanning fault in the programming. try to reset the board by pulling the battery and removing all power of 30 minutes. completely drain all power from this unit for 30 minutes. if this message continues after you have rest the programming, this will confirm a serious fault within the internal program. you will have to send this device back to a pentax repair terminal for reprogramming.

this is not malfunction.
According to its manual, just turn it off ,wait for one minute and
turn it on again. It'll reset th camera. You need to reset the date/time.
