Canon PowerShot A495 Digital Camera - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

Check if your battery door is perfectly aligned and has no gaps if it has a gap then you have to push or tape it to line perfectly without any gaps and if the door perfect and still showing same thing you have change batteries make sure to use either Duracell or rechargeable 2.5v batteries

That depends on your camera brand and model. If Canon, you will need to use a mini-HDMI cable. You cannot connect to a TV with your standard USB 2 cord supplied with the camera.

It has a serious problem, go to the Canon site or click on this link. you may want to repair it. I would not because of the expense, a new camera might be a better choice. But call on it first and check prices.

iIt seems that the battery is low or not powerful enough to run the camera properly. when the camera notices there is not enough power it will automatically shut down. ensure the battery is fully charged up on the charger and then try it. the battery type is Canon NB-3L and if the camera is a few years old or has been stored for a long time the battery may need to be replaced.

if all these have been done and still the problem persists i would recommend a dealer have a look at the camera.

to replace battery open slider plate on bottom of camera and flip tab to release the battery pack.

I hope this was useful.

Also be sure you did not press the card in the wrong way around. Check the contacts on both the memory card and in the camera. Check if the card is still working when placed in an external memory card reader, connected to the PC. Look for the switch on the left side. Before you put it in a camera it should be like the card on the left, the 64GB card. Switch up.

If you are looking for the memory card in the camera, just open the battery door. There between the battery and the back side of the camera you find the memory card.

Only insert and remove memory cards when the camera is shut down. Before you go on with this memory card, check in a PC with a cardreader if the memory card is ok. Onlty when you are sure it is working good, go on. Perhaps you have another memory card to test in your camera. Please switch it of and check if the battery (ies) having enough capacity.

try different memory card, it cold be the card is not good

Hi Sadia Exactly what kind of drivers are you looking for? All the software etc. that you normally need is bundled on a CD when you buy the camera. Failing that, you can go to www.powershot.com where there is a vast library of downloadable drivers and software available.Hope this helps

SD cards have a slide switch along one edge. The position farthest from the metal contacts locks the card, protecting it from writes. The position nearest the contacts unlocks the card.

replace the battery with a new one.

Here are some troubleshooting steps that you can try that may (or may not) correct it. They only seem to work for less than 40% of the lens errors, but if the camera is out of warranty (or repair cost approaches that of the camera), they're worth that try. Some of the later steps do involve some risk to the camera, so carefully weigh your options before deciding to conduct them.And here's a video summary of the steps:

Go online to Canon and see if you can order the part directly. The second option is ebay, probably get a better price if available.

The A495 does not charge batteries. The adapter merely allows the camera to run on external power.

you didn't give enough information about the problem or when did it start.try the follow:check that the battery lid is closed properly - in many of those cameras it doesnt always close as it should.try to connect it to a computer and see if something happens. it is possible that the camera does work but the screen is for some reason turned off.
