hi everyone im also facing this problem. its a new camera but its been unused for years since purchase. no batteries were ever installed. so I tried to use the camera for the first time today. popped in new AA batt in and the camera powers on. set the date and before I can take a photo it shows battery is low and seconds later it shuts down. where is the cr1220 slot please? cant find it anywhere in the manual. the model is Olympus fe170. thanks
