I used to use this, and quite a capable non dSLR. My 16yo daughter is now using it from time to time, and she now has a photography class
Back in the day I used rechargeables, purple ones from Jaycar, 2500 mAH I think.
I had trouble with the rechargeaabels after a while, so I was using disposables from time to time, and they didnt work, camera would start, take a pic, no flash, and it wouydl turn off. I eventually found it it was the battery type, cannot recall details. I got some disposables the other day, they also do not work. Energiser High drain The ones that did were alkaline Duracell Ultra, although on Googling, Alkaline arent ideal? Or are they not ideal but better than whatever the other disposable type is?
Can I ask for recomendations on disposables? She took 3 pics then it turned off, indicating not enough power
The recharger issue I had is that they seemed not to charge after a while. I didnt use them heaps, and occasionally the usage was well spaced. I see lithium ion AA rechargeables are now the go, is that correct? The charger I had was not intuitive, it didnt really indicate when it was discharging
I'd like to ask for recommendatiion on rechargeable battery type and brand, or required tech specs, and also a good, solid fair priced charger, or will any do these days?
Cheers Id like to put this battery thing to bed and her just use it as I used to
