Most likely is a battery age issue, Gok.

Not sure if this is relevant - it's technical but not about the board.

Recently my digital camera doesn't seem to recharge properly. I always recharge my camera after I use it, but recently even after it appears to be fully charged (with the battery symbol indicating that it is full) the power seems to be draining a lot quicker. When I first bought this camera, I could go around shooting heaps of photos without needing a recharge. Now it only lasts for not even a few hours before blinking that red "empty" battery icon and soon showing other signs of being depleted of power.

I haven't owned another digital camera before this - and it's about 2-3 years old now... so what I'm curious to know is - does this mean that the rechargeable battery has run its due and I need to buy a replacement?

Did you have an INITIAL charge for the battery that should usually be longer for the normal usual charging hours (it takes to become full)? Most probably and i assume you did then it must be a technical fault with your camera.

Are you saying that this digital camera is 2-3yrs old? If yes, then well..its about time to change battery i assume.

to fully utilise rechargeable batteries, it needs to be run down once in awhile (just like the batteries inside a laptop).. I do that fortnightly...

with camera rechargeables (lithium-ion), I don't charge it until it has run flat. my konica kd-500z which I bought back in those days (7yrs??) is still running like new.

standard rechargeable batteries (like AA size), usually can only be charge 1000-1500 times, and if you have been charging it everyday, then I would say those batteries is near the end of their life.

yeap..Rampage has answered it all
it can be found in the Content button under Tools > Options
if that doesn't help...i reckon you should view YouTube in IE then or best, try to download or reinstall the plug-in
