Battery failure occurred much sooner than I expected. I put in fresh ones and still got the flashing low battery symbol. I removed the fresh ones and noted that the two silver contacts, which touch the gold spring-loaded prongs, look a bit dull and discolored. Anyway I pushed the gold pins in and out and then replaced the new batteries. The camera show a "full" battery now. I would like to clean the silver-looking things that touch the gold, but am reluctant to get rubber bits from a pencil eraser in the camera. Any good way to clean the silver spots? Or any other suggestions? Incidentally, the old batteries still give me the low battery reading. As always, thanks..............Julian - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
