Image Stabilizer Is Not Functioning I Installed New Panasonic Batteries

I pay the extra and only use Energizer Ultimate Lithium batteries, which provide much longer life than other batteries that I've tried. Rechargeables are hopeless. The suggestion about trying other batteries is a good one, and if that doesn't change anything, I think you do need to deal with customer support, either by phone or by e-mail.

I had that problem when I first got the Cameras, but now everything is working, call this number 1-877-381-6620 and let support walk you through and my cameras have been working fine ever since.

Don't work after attaching to your camera and taking a few shot the camera freeze up.

the only thing I can think of is that one of the camera's don't work. Maybe you can return the unit for another one. good Luck.

I had the same issue. Camera refused to operate. Said it was not a Nikon battery after firmware upgrade.

Sharon, this happened to me as well during the warranty period so I sent it to Panasonic and they fixed it for free. It is a cheapy plastic shutter window for such a nice camera. Good luck!

Robert, I said I would get back with you after taking more pictures. I just hit photo number 30 since you asked and no...it is not flashing that I need new batteries. I use regular Energizers. Nothing special. I too think you may have a problem with the camera. Although, I have gone through a couple pair of batteries very quickly, and it occured to me that the store may have just sold me old batteries. Not all have experation dates on the packging. Good luck, I love the pictures I am getting, I hope you do to.

There are not really any for sure instructions I would say other than turning them off or on. They should automatically receive the 3D signal when it's started and if you look at a light or bulb that is on when you hit the power button you'll see the shutter change. If it this doesn't work it's defective, I had the same problem happen

Yes, that's probably the image stabilization unit. It has some free movement when camera is not powered on - that's normal behavior. Don't know how robust this is on the long term, but from the little I tested it seemed fine. I'd be more concerned about battery life, which is relatively short.

I had the same problem when I first used my Sx110 IS. I think it is the stock batteries. I put a pair of my own in and the camera works just fine, taking more pictures than it did with the batteries that came in the package. Hope that helps!

Thanks for the reply. I understand it may be us, not the camera, although I've never had this problem with any other camera. May have to play with the white balance to correct the problem, at least that's what Panasonic told me. Two camera stores couldn't figure it out. Shouldn't be so complicated!

You probably have a bad battery. Same thing happened to me. I ordered two new batteries. Charged them and the Camera works perfect. If you purchased this item refurbished contact the seller and Amazon and have them refund the cost of the new purchased batteries. They refunded the cost for me.

Dear Gerald: I've got the same message error, and I Just Don't know what can I Do about It. I Have a Sony DSC HX20V and works perfectly with my old batteries. If you have some Info, I appreciate that you could share it to me.

Hi , remove battery from camera, insert that plus another of the same battery into the grip, push into camera and tighten screw( making sure not to cross thread) connect cable to control aux. switch. Turn on and check operation. I had to return the first one as it had bad contacts. That's it, start shooting!

Best bet is to contact Panasonic customer service. I found them willing, able and customer oriented. They were also patient. Best answer I am able to give as that is what I did when I had problems.
