"This battery can not be used" message appears right after power up and camera shuts down. It's a 1 month old battery that came with the camera. The problem started to appear after camera got some moisture in the rain.

Hi
What you are seeing is a generic message that means there is
some sort of problem with the lens, it could happen in many different
ways such as sand or dirt in the lens gears.
A couple solutions would be to either buy a defective camera online and
make one good camera from the two if you can do that sort of thing
yourself, or secondly have it repaired by somebody.
Don't bother
trying to send the camera to Canon if it is out or warranty (though you can call them and verify
what I'm about to say) because they will want $150+ to do the repair
for you. Parts are not cheap to buy from them.
I know of
one very affordable digital camera repair business... because I own it.
The name is Darntoothysam, feel free to check us out, we are on that
big auction website also (I don't plug their name for free), our seller
ID is 'darntoothysam'. If you Google "darntoothysam" you will find us.
We
have your repair listed as a package in our store for about $75. This
covers a new lens, and return shipping of your camera! We even give a 90 day warranty on parts and labor. If you think you can use us then
please check us out, even if you need to ask more questions then please

Hope this helps,

The lens can not move due to a possible obstruction.
Gently put some force on the lens, turn the camera on and it works. I suppose there is too much friction between lens and camera.

If in the UK, this will be covered by the warranty return it to Kodak for repair,

There could be a short in the battery contacts in your camera. You should inspect them for corrosion or oxidation.

Have Kodak Easyshare V1253 with same, "high temp.," error then shutdown. Kodak batt. showed 25% charged. Charged batt 100% & temp. error went away. Batt. internal shows camera if batt. too hot. Try new batt.
