When power goes off,i cant get my camera pictures from behind the set up screen?

Could be ccd problem. These were common with this type of Canon camera. Download Canon pdf file re these faults.

To save battery power, the camera automatically goes into sleep mode and the monitor turns off if there is no operation after 3 minutes when the camera is turned on (when the lens cover is open and the monitor is on). No picture is taken even if the shutter button is fully pressed in this mode. Operate the zoom button or other buttons to restore the camera from sleep mode before taking a picture. If the camera is left on for 15 minutes, it automatically turns off (the lens cover closes and the monitor turns off). Press POWER to turn the camera on.

Probably a power saving - OR- a timer setting.You should be able to change the setting easily.

hey this camera is not for viewing or capturing photos.
This camera is used for viedo confrencing or for viedo call.
u cant use it until u have the 3G technology in ur city..
so hav patience u will use it very soon as 3G technology has started in India
and will reach ur city soon.
till then have fun with ur 2megapixel camera located behind ur phone..

Hi

The Digital Rebel XTi doesn't have 'live view' mode, you can't see what you're taking a picture of before you take the picture.

I think you need to replace the screen module, from your description of the fault. The 'part behind the screen' IS the LCD module - the front part is for protection. As you can still take pictures and store image files, it is just the screen at fault.

The LCD screen is black and I can't tace picture. But I can still view my pics. The camera goes thru all the motions like it is taking a picture but it is just coming up black.

Sounds like battery life is gone. If there rechargeable batteries they might not be holding a charge anymore.

If your camera has a power cord that plug into your camera to charge the battery does it do the same thing?

If it doesn't have a power cord, what happens when you plug the camera into your computer?

hope this works:

1) power on the camera and connect it to pc
2) if connection exsist press menu (1x) on camera , with multiselector press up once , followed by OK on camera ,
3) if all goes well your operating ssytem will recognize the pictures in the internal memory and you will have them on your pc

It sounds like the "button" circuit board is not working and will have to be replaced.
