Those spring-loaded contacts on the camera body are not necessarily
self-cleaning (and some self-cleaning contacts aren't), and there may be some
slight degree of tarnishing inside them. With the contact cleaner, go a bit
further than just wiping it on the ends. Find a syringe, fill it with a small
amount of contact cleaner, then under a magnifier apply it to the body of the
contact, working the contact up and down to work the fluid inside.
If you can't find contact cleaner in liquid form, just spray some into a
small bottle. I've had to do this with WD-40 to fill a pump bottle rather than
buy it in the 1-gallon can.
