Hi Everyone,
If anyone could help me answer a few questions in relation to the Kyocera SL400R i would be very grateful.
I am new to digiscoping and have started with this camera (off Ebay). I seem to get reasonable results
However, the camera now appears to be on the blink( literally!). The picture on the monitor flashes on and off, while making a clicking sound. Then within seconds the battery sign indicates 'low battery' and the the system shuts down..This does not happen in playback mode.
So, is the camera completely kaput? Or is it fixible? And if so, by whom?
If not fixible I am tempted to replace it with another SL400R ( cost is a factor). But this time I would want to add an external battery pack. Does anyone still supply them?
Last question! Is the old Nikon Coolpix the only other internal zoom camera around?
Cheers!
