Hi all,
I bought my girlfriend and Optio 230 on eBay and although all the
functions seem to work it seems to have a problem with batteries. It shos
the batteries as being exhausted way too early. The Lithium battery that
came with it gave up after about 25 shots, so she replaced it with a set of
alkalines and they showed up as depleted almost straight away.
She then tried another brand new set of Alkalines and again it stopped
working after about 5 minutes. They show up as fine with a battery tester as
you would expect.
I've put a set of Nimh rechargeables in it and they are OK so far, but would
really like to have the option of using regular Alkaline batteries as well.
I've had similar troubles with the DigiBino 100, but it doesn' like the Nimh
either.
Has anyone had this sort of trouble with any of the Optio range?
thanks,
