1. Make sure that you have installed eight batteries in the battery compartment, filling battery all spaces with no “gaps”. Make sure that the batteries are installed correctly, observing proper polarity. Always place the negative (flat) end of each battery in contact with the spring side of its slot inside the camera. Or install the batteries again to check if the camera can power up.

2. Rechargeable 1.2V AA batteries are NOT recommended as the lower voltage they produce can cause operational issues. The worst case is that some batteries might not power the camera up.
