    Your batteries have had their day it seems.
    Buy new quality rechargeable batteries or change the ones you have to fresh alkaline ones as already suggested. Rechargeables lose effectiveness over time.

    These rechargeables are cheap and FAB. http://www.thomasdistributing.com/Ma...ge_p_2566.html and they last.

    Mystery of the weak batteries has been solved.

    I took the batteries out today to be charged and this is what I found.

    That is three rechargeables and a cheap dollar store battery. (Yes, I put that cheap battery in the charger before I went to take those portraits.

    Only mystery left - Where is my other rechargeable? I am guessing in a trash can somewhere in Disney World!!!
    Disney World was not a good place for me with batteries. I lost this rechargeable and my extra battery for my Canon 60D!!!
