Canon PowerShot - Answered Questions & Fixed Issues - Page 6

in this model the flash IC becomes faulty if so u should consult an expert.

That control board is shot or perhaps the connection to the main board is at fault. Shame but repairing those cameras is very labor intensive and hard to work on. And the parts are not cheap either. I am crazy about my SX 50 but if anything like that happened to me I would just go to ebay and get another one inexpensively. Many repairs on cameras are simply not cost effective.

Take it for a service.

See if camera electronics can be reset. Contact the manufacturer for this procedure. If nothing can be done to restore camera to factory defaults then the electronics are fubar. May not be cost effective to repair.

just down load it and then you click on the downloaded file and it should install the software. the link below will automatically detect the windows operating system you are using if you are using windows https://www.usa.canon.com/internet/portal/us/home/support/details/cameras/support-point-and-shoot/powershot-sd-elph-series/powershot-sd850-is?tab=drivers_downloads

full memory card maybe? (Thanks Google)

The focusing gear on that motor is stripped and the lens cannot focus. Not cost effective to repair. Canon will charge small fortune for the part and then the LABOR. Workiing on those small cameras is one royal PIA and labor intensive.

Try a hard reset of camera electronics. Canon may have a hidden code to do this with. Suspect your electronics are fubar and you may have to go shopping since repair is not cost effective. Shame - good camera.

Camera needs service

Can't help you this time but when you purchase anything you should have a note book and write all the information in it then you would not have this problem. A lot of people do not think of these things.

So your power shot has gone south. Shame because they are really good cameras. Unless it is a very ex[pensive model repair is never cost effective.

Use GOOFOFF cleaner

The repair was made some nine years ago. This suggests that the camera is way beyond its expected life span - retire it, and purchase another.

So the pics vanished from the memory card, right? Perhaps you can insert the card to your computer and try a photo recovery tool on it. Give this app a try if you're a Mac user. Recover Digital Photo Music and Video on Mac OS

Why not just use a USB card reader ?

Liquids and electronics do not mix. Replace the camera

The exposure meter in your camera is underexposing due to the white background. Try adding up to two stops of positive exposure compensation. What you are seeing as blue is in fact grey - it may be an idea to calibrate your monitor as well.

You need to use 2100 mAH or 2300 mAh rechargeable batteries - alkaline batteries will not maintain the high level of power required.

I would look at the connection ports. Sometimes dust,dirt gets in there..Try blowing air into the connectors. You can use you mouth breath but a small air compressor works better..But I wouldn't over do it with to much air pressure... My iPhone mic was dirty...No one could hardly hear me...I done this and now they hear me good...Worth a try...It could bent prongs in the port or a bad cable. Good luck.

Check to see the largest capacity card that the camera will accept - if you are trying to use cards larger than this, I would expect this error.
