If the batteries are the same age as the camera, they are probably worn out. Try replacing them.

In camera setting there maybe a selection that says rechargeable or alkaline

Your problem is in the settings. Glad maybe turned off set flash to auto.

Just replace the camera

What did the error prompts?

Occasionally the SD card will fail. To check this try a different card and see if you get the same result.

Try downloading the current software for you model from the Canon site. You could try inserting the memory card into the card reader on your computer and if you get the same result then it would appear to be a software problem that you use to download. Sometime conflicts appear.

Although you can copy images from your computer to your camera, the camera will be unable to display them, so it is a pointless exercise.

work for about 50% of lens errors, but they're worth a try. The list includes:

1. Remove the batteries and wait a few minutes
2. Try pressing and holding the Menu, Function, Function Set, or OK while turning on the camera, or otherwise find a "factory reset" option.
3. Try turning the camera on without a memory card inserted
4. Place the camera flat on its back and turn it on while holding down the autofocus button, to try to cause the camera to attempt autofocus while the lens is extending
5. Blow compressed air in any gaps around the lens - or use a shop vac
6. Use a thin piece of paper or a needle to dislodge any visible bits of grit
7. Gently tap the camera in an attempt to realign jammed mechanics or dislodge particles (obvious warning: could cause further damage)
8. Gently push or pull the lens barrel, as a last resort (again, potential for further damage).

A conversion to sepia is done in your editor

SD cards have a small micro switch on the side check to make sure your's is open/on.

The best way is to get a quote and then decide if it is cost effective to repair or buy another.

Sounds as if it needs a repair but get a quote first as it may be better to purchase new

If you have EOS Utillity it may be running in the background.

Settings menu to off the option

Ok, like this. Cameras don't have an option "HDR", they have the possibility of taking HDR photos.HDR is a term used for taking pictures with good lighting and shadows - this you need to set yourself - once you have, you have HDR ;)(High Dynamic Range)

Check your camera settings in movie mode for the correct settings for time lapse, normal, slow motion and fast motion. A slow recording memory card will not produce your problem but will take longer to save the file. If you shot the movie in PAL and played it on an NTSC TV, the picture would be in black and white with no sound and vice versa. ALWAYS format the memory card in the camera, never on a PC

More likely one of the spring contacts in the camera that connect to the SD card has become weak causing the problem.
