Canon PowerShot A75 Digital Camera - Page 7 - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

Canon A75 has had this problem. Canon knows of it and for awhile would fix this for free. This sounds like it might be a defective CC. They may still repair it for free and ship it back to you. I had mine fixed for free including shipping.

Go to the canon website at:

What exactly do you mean. Is it "black" pictures (something very common for your model camera). If so, this sounds like it might be a defective CCD imager, and is a known defect for your particular model camera.. If so, Canon should fix this for you for free if you live in the US, Canada, and a select few other countries. If you live outside the US, contact Canon support for your country to see if they'll still honor the advisory (some still will, especially if you stress you knowledge that this is a known defect of the camera). They may also include free shipping both ways (free shipping varies with countries). This is regardless of your camera's warranty status. Please see this link for more info.

Affected cameras with this problem include: A60, A70, A75, A80, A85, A95, A300, A310, S1 IS, S60, S400, S410, S500, SD100, SD110, IXUS V2/V3/300/400/430/500/II/IIs, IXY Digital 200a/300a/320/400/450/500/30/30a

Known problem. Canon will repair N/C (even on an out of warranty A75!).

Prior response here: The sensor is bad, Go to the Canon web site, There's a recall on this. They will repair for you N/C, To and from ...

There is no timeframe for the A75, the advisory is still valid for your camera. However, your camera must be experiencing symptoms of CCD failure for Canon to honor the advisory. Please see this link for more info.

when you connect the camera with a cable to the television the screen is blank because that the default settings what you get in camera the television screen acts as a LCD of the camera , when u move your camera to click pictures you get the display on the television screen

Things to check first for a camera that won't turn on are battery contact points, and micro switches that are located on the battery and memory card doors. Troubleshooting tips on other things that need to be checked may be seen here. These tips won't work for every case, but they're worth a try.

This may cause you camera to break, be very careful


Get a damp wash cloth and slowly stick the corner of the wash cloth in the lens.

Try to but a needle in the lens cap slowly pry it open.

Hope it solves your problem :D

Are you able to view the controls etc., on the screen or is it completely blank?

It is symptom of ccd imager chip failure in your Canon A75 camera, replacement of ccd imager chip by local camera repair shop will solve this problem and camera will start showing live view in camera mode to take fresh pictures.
Hope these info will help you.
Thanks.
