Dear Tejas Belani,
I hope you're still reading this but I had exactly the same problem with the Ixus 255 HS as you describe (full battery - false message - filled battery icon when looking to pictures on the memory card).
After some failed rescue attempts (recharging, completely discharging, 10 second hold of on/off button), I think I finally found it: put a small piece of paper or carton in between the battery opening door and the battery. This pushes the battery a couple of millimeters deeper in the battery bay and ensures a good contact between battery and pins at the other end.
Seems like Canon were a bit cheap on the plastic levers that secure the battery ... or perhaps they erode after some time of usage. This type of camera is often exposed to more aggressive conditions than the bigger, more expensive camera's out there :)
You may want to have your phone to be flashed reset.. I will help you on
how to do this process, but first things you need to have a full
charged for your phone`s battery for this will not work well if not
fully charged.
Here`s how to do it,
*Remove the battery, and then wait for about 20 min or so before putting
it back
*Press and hold these three keys together -Green dial key, Star key[*],
Three key [
* switch ON the phone.
* Do not let go the three keys until you see the Welcome screen
displayed and just let it complete the boot process
YOUR EXPERIENCING A BATTERY ISSUE
short battery life is contributed to these, 1. Old battery 2. Lots of apps running in the background 3. Taking lots of photos 4. Charging the phone when it does not need a full charge 5. Leaving your phone in direct heat or cold 6. Dropping the phone 7. Leaking battery 8. 1 year or more old battery 9. Continuously talking and charging at the same time 10. Ensure to contact your insurance to see if the battery is protected under your plan.
Hello ! It seems (probably) cause your battery isn't enough charged. Try to charge your phone (switch off until battery fully charged). After switch On and enjoy :)
It is possible that the batteries have reduced its capacity to recharge to the full value. Fully discharge and charge and try. If your camera is working fine otherwise , it will be good to buy new batteries. Since the charging procedures for retaining good life for rechargable battery is to do the intial charging for abotu 12-18 hours and let it drain fully before repeating the process at least three times. Try and do it at least once a fortnight so that the battery does not get cells to develop back EMF. Hope you try this out.
Solution: As digital cameras become more advanced and include more features, the power needed to keep them functioning has also increased. That means that typical alkaline batteries likely won’t do more than power your camera for a few shots before running out of juice. Sometimes, your digital camera may not power on at all if the inserted alkaline batteries aren’t fully charged or powerful enough. Rather than carry along dozens of alkaline batteries for a single photo shoot, you can save money by purchasing rechargeable NiMH (nickel-metal hydride) batteries. Rechargeable batteries can be purchased with a charger that you plug into a wall outlet, and they fully charge in one to five hours depending on the charger and the type of batteries you’re using.
If you’re already using rechargeable batteries but are experiencing short battery life with your digital camera, it’s likely time to replace your rechargeable batteries with new ones. Depending on the number of charging cycles you perform (how many times you discharge and recharge your batteries), rechargeable batteries typically last for two to three years before they no longer hold a full charge. You may also ensure that you’re charging your rechargeable batteries directly before use. As batteries sit unused for extended periods of time, they automatically lose some of their charge.
There are many ways you can conserve battery life while using your digital camera, too. For starters, if your camera has a viewfinder in addition to an LCD, use the viewfinder to frame your shots and turn the LCD off because LCDs draw a lot of power. If you prefer to use the LCD, you can still conserve battery life if you refrain from looking at each picture on the screen after you take it.
Sounds like a battery problem. Make sure that you have the correct batteries for the camera, that they are fresh/fully charged (if your camera is not factory fresh, the batteries that came with it may be depleted or in need of a full charging). some batteries can be installed or plugged in the wrong way, so also make sure that you have them installed properly. If this doesn't work for you, your camera may have
a problem that requires professional repair.
No sorry to say this is normal for this camera! you may want to look for rechargable lithium batterys (they will last longer in a high drain device such as your camera!
