I thought I'd throw this question out over here --- maybe somebody knows, or knows where to find out.....
I've got a Vivitar Vivicam 3315 (1.3 Mega-pixels) -- I've had it for nearly three years now. It's out of warranty (of course!).
Anyway - the problem it seems to have is that it loses time. For example, I can set the time and date on the camera - that works fine. I can pick it up about 24 hours later, and I find the time is running slow by about 21 hours or so.
I've contacted Vivitar with the question -- asking if maybe it's got an internal battery that needs to be replaced. I got a standard canned response -- send it to us along with $5........
It's not worth it to me to pay for shipping both ways - PLUS repair costs just for that.
It's not a huge deal -- I can live with that if I must.
Back on track --- when the camera is off, it's got both batteries and the SD card still in it --- the batteries are fine -- they're even a new pair of lithium batteries. I changed them out to see if that would make any kind of difference, but nope.
I've tried a couple google searches, but didn't find anything --- yet at least!
Maybe somebody here can help!
Thanks!!!
