Why do my batteries only last a few seconds?

This camera has worked fine for a few years, but recently the batteries have been dying very quickly - the low battery sign flashes, then the screen goes blank and when I turn the camera on again, either the screen says "change batteries" or turns off in about a second. When I get lucky, the camera will stay on just long enough for me to snap a picture. After changing the batteries, they usually don't last more than a minute. I've tried the toothpick trick with folded pieces of plastic straws but it doesn't help.

Have a look atthe "low battery" or "no start-up" guide I have published, it may be the answer to your problem.
