Lay the camera down on its back, remove the battery compartment "lid" and use a ammeter to complete the circuit. You can tell right away if it is still drawing current. If it is, then it is repair time! Possibly your distributor would repair it under warranty as it is so close to the end of the warranty period. John Collier > From: "Richard E.
