Question

Resolving the error message For use with compatible battery only

Answer

If the battery terminal is dirty, the camera may not work properly. Wipe the dust away on the terminal with a dry cloth or a cotton swab, insert the battery and turn on the camera again. Do NOT touch the terminal with your hands or metals.

Also, if you have multiple batteries, try using another battery as your battery may have problems.

If the problem persists even if you try the above, the camera may need to be repaired.
