"@suga1234 , Hopa, Yes if battery contacts corroded, they should be cleaned to make a good connection. A pens ink eraser has a little grit in it and works well for cleaning corroded terminals also soft cloth or Qtip dampened with 90%+ Isopropyl Alcohol can work. Have patience clean all terminals, blow/shake any debri out of battery compartment, install new good quality batteries correctly and try. Link below to trouble shooting.

"Hi @sharon8 ,

First check my comment (2 above yours).

You may also have to dis-assemble the camera to check if any damage caused by the leaking battery has occurred.

If you see any corrosion etc try gently cleaning it off using Isopropyl Alcohol 90%+ (available from electronics parts stores) and a Q-Tip.

Here are a couple of links that may be of some help.

This link is also helpful as damage caused by corrosive acid is likely to be worse than the corrosive effects of the impurities in water
