This question is on behalf of my mum, she has a canon ixus 105 and has been trying to edit/crop her photos on the camera but just cant seem to do it. she has been online and still no luck

Follow the instructions on page 68 of the manual available from here.

Sit the camera in sunlight for few hours until its get warm and make sure the battery and memory card out and the doors must be open . After that insert the battery only and try to turn on and see the result.

I would recommend never to edit any pictures on the camera. First copy all files to a hard drive, then do your editing. You can delete, that is okay.
The problem which can happen on cameras trying to edit, is possible corruption.
Avoid problems by copying to a computer, then edit with your favorite editor or other kind of program.

No, because Canon's do not have any internal memory. A memory card is always needed.

Having gone two months without a response to my query, I assume my suggestion to use a card reader solved the problem.

IS it allways on the same placo on the photo?
If your lense is clean and dust free, scratch free, maybe you have dirt or even bad pixel/s on the sensor!!!

Try getting the picture printed someplace else. Most likely it's getting cropped in the printing process.

You can also point this out to the staff at the Walmart and request that they not crop your photos.

Unfortunately, you don't. The IXUS 70 does not provide this capability. You'll have to use photo editing software on a computer to do this.

Try NOT connecting your camera to your computer.


The best way to download pictures from your camera to your computer involves removing the memory card from the camera and plugging it into a card reader (either built-in to the computer or connected via USB or FireWire). This is likely to be faster than connecting the camera to the computer, and won't run down your camera's batteries.


Once the card is plugged in, it will appear to your computer as a removable drive. You can use the operating system's drag&drop facility to copy pictures from the card to the computer's hard drive, the same way you copy any other files. Or you can use any photo cataloging program such as Windows Photo Gallery or Picasa.

You'll need to check your owner's manual for directions for turning that feature off. As for the pictures that already have the date on them, Photoshop Elements or any similar photo editing software can easily remove them. Also, if the date is near enough to the edge of the photo, you might be able to just crop it out.
