How do you clean the contacts on a digital camera?

Question by karen: How do you clean the contacts on a digital camera?
My digital camera sounds like it will turn on, but immediately powers down. I think I need to clean the contacts. I have bought new batteries and that doesn't help.

Camera reports batteries low, but is it low charge or bad electrical contacts? Overcharging can ruin good batteries! The secret to making digital cameras work better is having good electrical contacts between batteries and camera.

Digital cameras require lots of power. Bad electrical contacts can cause lots of problems so battery and camera contacts must be cleaned properly. Batteries may be fully charged, but will be viewed as low if contacts are not really good. The LCD screen is a low steady load, but when lens extension, optical zoom, focus, and flash charging are added in the capture mode; the load is very heavy. Bad contacts make cameras do strange things like making bad pictures or shutting off with the lens out.

CAUTION Do not overcharge! Batteries can be severely damaged. Use an automatic two or more hour Energizer Compact smart charger with safety timer, temperature monitor, and trickle charge technology ($ 9.76) at Walmart. For longer life, use Duracell 2000mAh batteries and a full cycle charge monthly. Ray O Vac 2100mAh batteries are half the price and may do just as well, but have not tried them. To preserve battery charge, use the view finder and not the LCD screen when possible.

Never touch battery ends or camera electrical contacts. Oil from fingers will contaminate contacts. Use batteries in matched pairs of same brand and rating. Do not mix old and new batteries. New will only do as well as old.

NiMH batteries should be recharged before using in digital cameras after two weeks. Old batteries can discharge over night, but may provide near normal service immediately after being charged. Battery pairs no longer usable in cameras may work well in flashlights. Do not drop batteries on a hard surface or allow voltage below one volt as this could result in polarity reversal.

Digital cameras reset to original settings if batteries are removed for one minute. Time varies with function/camera. Check display/setup menu for non-auto functions and date/time. Remove extra memory to eliminate this as a possible problem. Insert fully charged/cleaned batteries and restart camera. The ultimate non-physical repair for software-using devices is reset by removing power ... VCR/DVD players one month.

Question by guaymas2008: What is the smallest and/or most economical digital camera that comes with a remote control?
I was looking for a point and shoot digital camera that comes with a remote control but apparently they don’t exist. I was wondering what the smallest camera with a remote control is? I want to be able to put the camera on a tripod and take multiple pictures without having to go back to reset the timer.

What kind of professional digital camera should I get ?

Question by sjchristian: What kind of professional digital camera should I get ?
am looking to buy a very good professional digital camera. I have been thinking of taking up photography as a hobby. Mostly photos of my childrens lives, family events, etc. Yet I have no clue as to what kind of camera is best for what I want to do. I was thinking of going for Nikon, Cannon or possibly a Sony one. I am also looking to spend between $ 500 - $ 700. I want it to be versatile and durable, because I am not sure if I will be able to afford another one any time soon. Thanks in advance.

What is a digital camera that takes good analog looking pictures?

Question by Brad B: What is a digital camera that takes good analog looking pictures?
I'm looking for a digital camera, other than a Leica (like most people I don't have $ 7000 bucks at my disposal) that takes nice film quality photos. I'm turned off and slightly tired of the sterile world of DSLR's and I want a camera that has that rich analog look. I take fine art photography, so I'm not worried about being able to change out lenses and all that. Like I said, essentially a Leica M9 would be ideal, but I can't afford it.

I've been looking into the newer Fujifilm X100 and Olympus OMD-EM5. Are they my best bet?

I appreciate all suggestions and guidance!

Answer by patrioticjock
I think she'd really appreciate a digital camera with a cell phone attached.

Find out her current cell phone provider, and buy her a new phone for that. Most of them have 1.3 megapixals or better these days. The Sony Ericssons are the most popular. For the same price, why not have both in one unit?

Anyone know of a digital camera that can snap a picture very fast?

Question by jaden smith: Anyone know of a digital camera that can snap a picture very fast?
I have a sony digital camera and a 16 month old daughter. I always try to snap that cute thing she is doing or that perfect funny face she makes but by the time the camera actually takes the picture, the shot is gone. Either that or the long flash distracts her too much and she moves. Are there any cameras that will take the shot as soon as you push the button without any delays?


Best answer:

Answer by Mere Mortal
You are suffering from what's known as shutter lag. EVERY digi point & shoot I have ever owned has it. I missed a bunch of good shots; drove me crazy.


I bought a dSLR and now rarely miss a shot. Virtually no shutter lag and you can use faster lenses on it. Faster lenses mean you are less dependent on the flash to get a good shot in low light.

What is a good digital camera for taking Alaskan wildlife photos?

Question by irol321: What is a good digital camera for taking Alaskan wildlife photos?
We are looking to purchase a digital camera to use in taking photographs of wildlife on our Alaskan vacation this summer. We currently have point and shoot digital cameras but are thinking we should probably get a digital SLR with a telephoto lens. Ease of use would be helpful as we would be novices with this type of camera. Cost is not really an issue as we are looking at this as a once in a lifetime trip and want to make sure we have photos to preserve it. There is no specialty camera store anywhere near where we live so any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.
