My Olympus E-10 has been acting up all of the sudden. Even when I put new batteries in, I can only take a few pictures before the camera says the batteries are running low. Does anyone have any troubleshooting ideas?

Do you mean freshly charged NiHM batteries? Check your charger and the possibility of a defective NiMH first. See what happens running on Alkaline. Also, check your battery contacts.

Yes, freshly charged Ni-MH batteries. I also have a 3030Z and a 230D and use the same batteries in these cameras with no problems. And yes, I checked the battery contacts as well. I'm wondering if anybody else has ever had this same problem. I've also contacted Olympus and am hoping they'll call me or e-mail me with some possible troubleshooting ideas.
