i find only certain brands of batteries will work, keep trying and maybe when you first turn it on after installing new batteries turn it one clockwise click (not sure what the icon is that it will point to) and see if that clears it up.

If the camera has recently been dropped you may have lens damage that is preventing it from powering up. If it hasn't been dropped your problem may be due to corrosion on the battery contacts inside the camera which can prevent the full power of the batteries from flowing into the camera. Try this free fix before you do anything else: remove the batteries and wipe the camera contacts firmly with a dry cloth (heavy corrosion may require cleaning with a wire brush, steel wool, or sandpaper). Remove any residue that may have fallen into the battery compartment during cleaning, then wipe both ends of the batteries and place them back in the camera and give them a full charge (assuming that you are using rechargeable batteries). This cleaning clears the problem about 90% of the time. If it doesn't work for you, the camera may have a problem that requires professional repair.

are you using the recommended battery the (KAA2HR or Ni-MH). If yes make sure that your charger is working fine.

now if your charger is working fined the second you need to do is to recondition the battery or purchased new KAA2HR battery it means that the chemical content on the said battery is already crystallized., this is also applies to your C530 since their using dame battery

try lithium

You might want to try a fresh set of energizer lithium batteries. Have found many cameras require more ma's that rechargeable batteries can supply.

take your battery out for 5 mts then try it again
