Chosen Solution
Battery is not lasting more that 5-6 pictures.
Two possible fixes. (1) reset camera remove batteries hold down power button for 1 minute replace batteries (2) increase battery contact pressure remove batteries using needle-nose pliers, bend battery contacts (in battery case cover) to better contact batteries replace batteries
By default, as soon as you turn the camera on, it enables flash–even when not needed. Form this habit: As soon as you turn the camera on, every time, press the “up” arrow on the four-way pad to turn the flash off. Not only will the batteries last much longer, but the camera will be ready to take the next picture much more quickly.
