Have you downloaded pictures to your computer to see if the pictures are ok, and it's just the display? If not, worth testing. If pix are ok, then it's just the display that's bad. If the pix are bad, get new camera.

The Canon SX110 doesn't have WiFi capabilities. Or are you asking about a different Canon camera?

AT YOUR OWN RISK, you could try ethyl alcohol which evaporates very fast and therefore won't saty damp in your camera.

Ana, That is not much to go on, but I will try.Not working, is that you don't see any response on the camera? does the screen go on, and not telling any error message.Or does the camera go on and you just can't make any picture?Most problems occur when the batteries are old or the battery contacts are dirty (oxidised) be sure the contacts of the batteries and in the camera battery compartment are clean. Be sure your batteries are not worn out. Test with a set of new ones.Look if accidentally your memory card is locked. the switch should be pointing to the top (where the golden connection point are).If you still have a problem, please let me know.

It's the button marked with a one-handed clock. In shooting mode, press cursor-down, then use cursor-up/down to select an option.

There is a small retaining clip in the memory card compartment which snaps into place when the card is inserted to hold it in. Maybe this has either become stuck, is broken or is jammed into place. If you see it, then try wiggling it a little bit to see if it goes back in to place.Hope this helps.

You don't. The flash, as the name implies, produces a brief burst of light for illuminating still photos. To shed more light while videoing you will need a continuous light source. For some examples see http://www.adorama.com/searchsite/default.aspx?searchinfo=video+light

The date and time (and a lot more) are stored with every picture in its EXIF metadata. Any photo viewing/editing program should be able to display this data. To print this data, please consult the documentation for whatever program you're using to print your pictures. Depending on the program and printer you may print the date on the image, in the margins, or on the back.

This is probably a battery issue and not a camera issue. Batteries with low output or low power can be due to them sitting and not being used for long periods of time. This can affect their ability to get a full charge as their "memory" is reduced regardless of what the charge light indicator displays. Even taking a battery that has been sitting for a long period and charging it to full charge, might only have limited power. Some of these can be returned to almost full capacity, but it takes multiple, repeated, alternating, charges and power deletions to rebuild the memory. In many cases, however, the battery just needs to be replaced.

It's the cursor-down button on the cursor pad. You'll see the one-handed clock marked just above the MENU button.

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 Picasa.

SD and SDHC 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.

Check you local Best Buy! They should be able to fix it at a decent price (You can try this one: Best Buy, 2907 Centre Drive, Fairborn, OH 45324)

Given the age of the camera, it would be cheaper to replace it than to repair it.

Hi there:Some symptoms of a defective CCD include distorted images or abnormal colors, scratchy purple lines, blank or black pictures, and/or black videos with good sound being recorded on the camera's flash card.A CCD problem would explain the lines on your pictures and the lines on the LCD (since the CCD is used to feed the live image). CCD (Charge Coupled Device) is one of the two main types of image sensors used in digital cameras.When a picture is taken, the CCD is struck by light coming through the camera's lens. Each of the thousands or millions of tiny pixels that make up the CCD convert this light into electrons. The number of electrons, usually described as the pixel's accumulated charge, is measured, then converted to a digital value. This last step occurs outside the CCD, in a camera component called an analog-to-digital converter.In order to correct this issue, the repair facility needs to replace the CCD. This is not something you may do on your own; check this article for additional details:Bad CCDs. This, isn't a good new, but hope helps to solve it.Hope this helps; also keep in mind that your feedback is important and I`ll appreciate your time and consideration if you leave some testimonial comment about this answer.Thank you for using FixYa, have a nice day.

Here are some troubleshooting steps that you can try that may (or may not) correct your problem. 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:

sounds like a LCD fault could be just a ribbon cable connection. If double checking your batteries are good and removing the mem card has no effect then it may have to go for professional service.
