Canon Powershot A470 Manual
My camera is always flat. Please help!?

I have a Canon PowerShot A470. I bought a couple of weeks and still not get the basic features. This is my first digital camera. I do not know how to charge. I replaced the battery about 3 times. But keep saying it's flat. I might have to connect the computer to load. But has no effect. I lost my manual and do not know what to do. Please help!

I think the camera uses batteries AA. You can use regular AA batteries and burns many of them, or buy rechargeable AA batteries and a charger and hopefully save some money in the long term. The camera itself is not a charger to plug into the computer will not help.
