Hi everyone -
Thank you for your help with the problem. I tried putting cold batteries in frig, and then camera in frig, an then whole thing in frig and it worked fine for a while. Then same problem arose.
Took it to my local camera store and the same problem with lithium or NiMh that they put in. Put in regular alkaline and it works great every time even in the cold. May be a camera problem, but if this is the fix - I can live with it. Regular alkalines in the camera and battery pack works like a charm. Took camera to COLD Daytona Nationwide race yesterday and worked perfectly.
Thanks all for your help.

Hi,
I have a K200D and have been using Energizer Lithium Ion batteries since I got it last year, and since I only used in temperate environments until now, need to ask for hellp. I took the camera to a Tamp Bay Lightening game and by the end of the second period the batteries would not work ( they were new at the start), and new batteries kept in the case wouldn't show any charge on the meter as well. Only after we brought it home and it warmed up, did the old batteries show again a full charge. thought maybe it was a fluke. I took the camera for St Augustine where it was about 50F with strong cold winds, and got three pictures before the same thing happened?? Any suggestions as to whether I need to take the camera in for repair, or is this a problem with the camera in 50F temperature, and is there a fix? Any help is appreciated - love my camera, but this is not good!!!
