HI...I just bought the powershot A720 a couple of days ago, and I've taken approx. 30-40 shots so far....well, tonight, I went to take some more pics of my daughter (i took about 11 0r 12 shots), and when I went to look back at them, along with all the other shots i've taken previously, the shots I took tonight were there, but ALL the other shots were GONE...I have no idea how this happened...I never deleted any, and I am VERY upset because I had some really nice shots on there...can you help or am I screwed...did I lose all those shots for good?...please help!

1st
Is there any dirt on the lens? make sure it is clean. if this is not the issue you will need to open the camera and make sure it is clean on the inside as well (I DO NOT reccomend to do this alone)
2nd
make sure to use rechargeable batteries ONLY
I reccomend using ENELOOP (by sanyo) or FUJITSU
make sure the batteries are made in Japan!!
Many digital cameras (eg Samsung D53, Nikon 2100) have extremely poor battery life with alkaline batteries (under 20 shots!). Sometimes they won't even take a single picture.
Connect the camera to a PC and download a few pictures. Or remove the SDcard and insert it in a USB card reader. If pics are black also it's a problem with the CCD chip and connected electronics.
If there's a clean picture it's a display problem. Display replacement is quite a micro mechanical feat - but can be done. Displays can be taken from dead camera's saving a few.
Hi, 1st you must use alkline bat or minimum 800 mhp bat.... and if problem is not solved then cheak the bat cap and connection clean with aomthing,,,, If any thing else contact me
Soundsl ike you got a autofocus issue and this needs to be taken care of by a camera shop. The issue here is the auto focus sensor the normally causes the camera to not turn on or to turn on and the breif off again. I would have it looked at by a camera shop,
thanks and please do leave positive ratings and feedback for your free answer today.
At this point, I installed rechargable batteries and camera appears to be working properly. I will be taking a lot of pictures the next couple of weeks, we'll see how it performs.
It sounds like your memory card is corrupt. This most important thing is not to use the card any further until you have recovered your pictures. Unfortunately i see from the date of your post that this may not be the case. What you need is some memory card picture recovery software. There are several shareware programs available for download. Try googling it. Good luck!
