SOURCE: canon powershot A470 problem when

The shutter flex cable inside the lens is broken. Happens to all cameras from Canon A4xx series. At day the images will be overexposed with horizontal lines on it, but it could look better at dark / night. The FLEX has to be replaced. Canon doesn't supply new flex cables for these, but there are some cheap copies on ebay. But as these brake very often, I wouldn't suggest you investing money in this camera, because it will brake again sooner or later.

Go to the menus and find the set to default option.
This should reset the menus and options to original.
Go to the menu section find a setting something like this... such as.. reset all to default or set to factory default or simply RESET.

Check to see if the pictures are saved to the card by taking a picture, then remove the card and play it back in either another camera or use a card reader to read the card.

If these tests shows that no picture was taken or it is all white, then the camera needs repair or has a ccd problem.

Another option is to call Canon Repair at the following page and use the 800 number for calling the repair department.
Canon has a trade-up or trade-in program which is a great way to get another camera at a good price. Canon will allow you to trade in your camera for a reasonable price against a refurbished camera plus a cost which is reasonable. A refurbished camera will come with everything it had when new, and will have been restored to original specifications.

On my Canon Powershot A470 white lines coming on photos but the video shiiting clips are fine

If it is on the LCD only and not on the final image when downloaded, it could simply be the camera indicating the actual image area that will be recorded. This can be changed by selecting a different aspect ratio.

When am taking photos in auto mode in the sunlight (outdoor)its completely bright, images are not visible but when am taking photos in the room its blurred visble but the horizontal white lines are co

Try setting it to a slower effective ISO rating, this may improve both situations. An ISO of 100 is effectively a slower picture speed, but it increases the pixel density so your pictures should appear better.

If you did not get a manual, I do suggest it because there is a great deal that camera can do that is not always apparent from the buttons you see.

If you need to download one,
http://usa.canon.com/cusa/consumer/products/cameras/digital_cameras
pick your model or family of camera and when that page has loaded you can download a number of documents.

When i take picture at day light in auto or manual mode the picture becomes white.But without sunlight it is ok.I keep the default settings but no improvement.What can be the solution?

Possible that the CCD/imager is weak or damaged.
If you can shut off camera for a day and swith on to show that it has improved then it is quite possible that the imager is faulty.
You will need the service of Canon to confirm and estimate.
