You may want to try another battery. I always carry extra batteries when I'm away from home. This happened to me once when I was at a supplier taking pictures of die sets. I did not have extra batteries and I wasn't sure of the problem. Also batteries can only be charged do many times before they are dead.

I just use the indicator on the camera, which will show full charge until the Smartree drains and the camera kicks over it it's main battery. They you know the Smartree is empty.

DO you have other cameras and are they operating alright? Naturally check all the connections both at the camera and the recorder. Also look for any nicks or cuts at the exposed wires. I experienced a problem once when all the cameras stopped working and it turned out it was the power adapter that went out. I replaced this item and it worked just fine after that. This is a good camera for the money. I have two of these and they have been working for just over a year. I'm even thinking of replacing the other two cameras with one of these so please let me know how this turns out. Good luck

Can't say since I only have one battery which is in he camera. You might want to check it periodically and maybe charge it for awhile. I hope to purchase another battery eventually. Also have a spare memory stick.

That 1 hr 59 minutes isn't battery time. It indicates how much space is available in the flash memory.I finally returned mine after days of fiddling and customer support shenanigans and tech support miscommunications. This is in September and clearly they have been having this issue since at least as far back as July. Flip tech support says this is normal behavior and is "to be expected." Well, there ya go. If you buy this camera then the inability to charge reliably and easily is "to be expected." My new Kodak Zi8 arrives today.

Double check to make sure it's not on "no flash" (lightning bolt with circle and slash through it) which youcan change by pressing the circle with the ok in the middle. If that doesn't work, turn the camera off, take the battery out,and then put back in and turn on. also make sure your camera is well charged. Otherwise, get service.

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!

Perhaps the battery you have is defective. I have a couple of them and they perform very well in my 6D. I had inadvertantly left my camera turned off and inaccessible for 3 weeks after a day of use and still had 80% charge when I picked it up again.

I would send it back. Mine turned on and charged fine. However, sometimes it records and sometimes it does not.

I had the same issue with a Canon Powershot SD780 IS Digital Elph. Just wanted to say this helped me a lot reading these comments. It just refused to power on one day out of the blue. A month later and 2 years out of warranty and with no options other than to cough up a bunch of money for a repair or new camera I decided to get risky and see what I could do myself. In the battery compartment, just to the left side of the battery a small plastic tab from the battery door fits into a slot when you close the door. The tab wasn't broken so I took an x-acto knife and poked at the piece in the camera body I assume the plastic tab was supposed to be hitting. Maybe the part was gunked up or sticking or something. I have no idea. But the camera was able to turn on after that and seems perfectly fine now.

Try another battery? You can call their support number, Is camera still under warranty? Just a few thoughts...good luck

John I have had my Kodak Camera since March of 2005 and wouldn't trade it for anything so I know how you feel. My original battery would not hold a charge either. I'm told that this will happen eventually with all batteries if kept long enough. I purchased from Amazon a new Kodak KLIC-5001 Lithium-Ion battery and have not had a single issue or regret. I suggest that if you love your current camera that much order yourself at least two while you can. Do it now before it's too late. Good luck and happy clicking.

Try a new battery. Mine has worked fine. Be sure camera is set on remote connection so the remote and camera "see" each other.

Sorry... Try taking out camera AA batteries and using fresh, new ones.If it doesn't work, get a new SDHC memory card of a well-known maker (Sandisk or similar).If nothing of the above works on restarting your camera, you'll have to send your camera to Canon Authorized Service shop... Sorry.

I was about to suggest first checking if the battery is inserted in the right position too. When the battery is charging there is a light in the camera. Also...because it happened to me: do you press the on-off button? If your camera is new check if the battery does not have a plastic little tapeon the poles that would originaly have to avoid leaking power. Good luck!

Hi Patricia,the battery of the camera is charged using the dedicated battery charger BC-CSK. The battery cannot be charged in the camera. Thanks_Mitch
