Need operating instructions for Canon Power Shot A1100IS

Look in the manual

Hi. Here is the PDF download of the manual. http://www.manualslib.com/manual/220670/Canon-Powershot-Sx20-Is.html

I hope that helps!

Kurt- I have successfully completed a d-i-y battery door replacement on my Canon A1100IS, and I make no claims about being an "expert." My training was watching u-tube videos of guys disassembling digital cameras (other models). Here's how to open the case on the A1100is, which is not really much different than opening the case on most any compact digital camera.
Using a size #0000 phillips screwdriver (Sears sells a set of 6 minis--slotted and phillips--for $10), I removed the nine screws from the side and bottom of the case plus one inside the mini-usb cover and the one inside the battery compartment.
Then, I gently worked the front and rear of the case apart (the top of the case halves have two snap clips that hold them together. Unlike some cameras, the A1100IS does not have any flexible cable straps between its front and rear covers.
With the case halves removed, I then used a tweezers to move the straight end of the hinge spring out of its original place next to the tripod socket. That released spring pressure on the hinge and I could then easily remove the hinge pin with the tweezers.
Then, it's simply a matter of placing the replacement door's hinge/spring combo in the proper location and inserting the hinge pin to hold it there. I purchased a new door from Canon for $8.42 plus shipping). Then, I used the tweezers to position the straight hinge spring end in the slot next to the tripod socket.
The only thing left was to wipe my fingerprints off of the LCD screen and then gently replace the front and rear case halves--snapping the case's top together and then replacing the nine screws.

I've seen this before and it's usually a sign of a bad inverter or data cable.


Please insure that you are not using any special lighting filters on the camera before making assumptions. You can check this typically by going through the settings while in Camera mode.

If there are no filters on, you might have a bad camera. Take it back to where you bought it if it's still under warranty. If not, you can call Canon but in most cases the cost to repair a camera exceeds the value depending on how much you paid for it.

Good luck!

If the pics look fine on your camera and computer screens, then the problem is with the printer. If they have the red tint on the screens, then you may have the white balance set to something other than "auto".

have you a card reader, transfer of files is usually quicker
Can you not just plug it in via usb lead and it recognise it as a camera?

try here if you need drivers etc. Remember to select your operating system at the top of the list:

Is there a slide switch on the side of the card? Is it in the locked position? If so, move it.
