I want to say my thank yous to the half-dozen people who suggested that I use fresh new batteries (as well as everyone else for offering advice and comments). I value your advice and I'll do as you suggest.
I do want to say again that my problem is very intermittent, having happened 4 times in two years -- twice in May 2004 (lithium), and twice in the past 4 weeks (lithium and nimh). I can't replicate the problem. I have run down plenty of batteries in the camera. Right now, none of my batteries are below half power. I would hate to think that I'm only able to use up half the capacity in my batteries before having to toss them. Hopefully this is not the lesson you guys are teaching me. :) Thanks again -- skye On 10/14/05, Larry Cook <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > ----- Original Message ----- From: "skye" > > > >Subject: broke my istD > > > > > > > > > >My *istD is on the fritz and I'm kind of depressed about it.
