Does anyone know if the SLT A55V has an internal battery and if so, how to change it. 🤔

I was using my camera outside in very cold weather.❄️  I was taking shots very low to the ground as well as general shots.  I had the camera out for about an hour.  Without warning the camera wouldn't turn on.  I changed battery to a newly charged one but still not joy.😞

At home, I made sure all my batteries were fully charged and tried to turn my camera on.  I have even had it in my airing cupboard in a bag of rice.  It remains dead.💔

Hi,

Yes, there should be a buffer battery inside the camera. This is usually recharged when inserting the main battery.

However, frankly spoken and based on my personal experience, I would say that the camera is dead because condensed water.

Remove the lens and check if the camera turns on again. If not I would suggest to get in touch with a repair centre.

Cheers

Thanks for that. If I am honest I think I knew that would be the response, but was praying  for a miracle.
