This is a link to Canon in the USA. As to the power problem make sure that the new battery is fully charged before use. It may be that your backup battery has failed as they only have a lifespan of 1 year. Check and replace it if necessary. You can obtain a user guide from this link.

If this does not resolve the issue then you will need to contact the Canon support for your country. The information is in the website.

Hope that helps.
