Vivitar cameras are known for their durability and reliability, but like all electronic devices, they need occasional battery replacements. Replacing the battery in a Vivitar camera is a simple process that can be completed in just a few minutes.
To begin, you will need to locate the battery compartment. On most Vivitar cameras, the battery compartment is located on the bottom of the camera. Once you have located the battery compartment, open it by sliding the latch or pressing the release button.
Inside the battery compartment, you will find the battery. Gently lift the battery out of the compartment. Be careful not to touch the metal contacts on the battery, as this can damage the battery or the camera.
Once you have removed the old battery, insert the new battery into the compartment. Be sure to insert the battery correctly, with the positive terminal facing up. Once the battery is in place, close the battery compartment and slide the latch or press the release button to secure it.
Locate Battery Compartment
Identifying External Battery Compartments
For Vivitar cameras with external battery compartments, the compartment is typically located at the back or bottom of the camera. Look for a small door or panel with a battery symbol or a release button. To open the compartment, slide the release button or gently pry open the door.
Accessing Battery Compartments Inside Battery Grips
Some Vivitar cameras have battery grips that house the batteries. To access the battery compartment in this case:
- Locate the battery grip’s release button: This is usually found on the side of the grip.
- Press and hold the release button: While holding the button, slide the grip away from the camera body.
- Open the battery compartment door: Once the grip is detached, you should see a battery compartment door on the base of the grip. Slide the door open to access the batteries.
