My FZ45 PIXPRO won’t start and keeps blinking red/showing connection error
Hello. i recently purchased this camera off amazon and it came with alkaline batteries and this has been working completely fine for like a week straight actually. amazing pictures and everything , the battery never died however and i connected the USB cord it came with the other day cause i thought it was a charger , which it turns out wasnt but i transferred pictures from it. i left it connected to my laptop. but the next morning when i tried to turn the camera on it wouldn’t open at all, like wouldn’t start. but when i connected the USB with the port to the laptop it would connect to transfer photos?
when i connected it to a different port to “charge” it , it would say connection error as shown in the picture. i looked up a lot of reviews and stuff and someone said that this isn’t chargeable and just runs on alkaline batteries. is this true? if not how do i fix this? please i just bought this i really want to take pictures. :(
