I have a Canon SD870 IS. Lately it does not take night pictures no matter what the settings are on. I tried to reset to default setting and it says "busy" but the camera is not doing anything. I even put in a new SD card with no pictures on it and it still says "busy", with or without the SD in it. Can you please tell me how I can restore to default settings to see if this will help my problem.
Thank you
Remove the battery for 24 hours

sounds like the flash isn't charging, as the flash icon flashes while the flash is charging before letting you take the photo. Put it in "P" and disable the flash and see if it'll let you take a photo. G>

I'll be perfectly honest with you guys...
The issues that you guys are describing here really sound like the kind of issues that will require Canon's attention.
---====To Seaker:
It sounds to me as though something is wrong with the digital processor of the photo matrix in the camera. You've obviously gone through all of the troubleshooting procedures. There are no modes that show just the icons but no image. (The only way you'd get a black screen with only icons is with the lens cap on.)
This sounds like an issue that only Canon can address.
If you ARE out of warranty, get around that by telling them that you
DID buy it within the last 9 months and that you do NOT have proof of
purcahse. If they insist on asking for it, then "try" to look for it
and once again inform them that you do NOT have it.
They can't really dispute the warranty at that point if they can't prove that you DIDN'T but it within the last 9 months.
I
hate to work the system like that... But I paid $400 for mine. I'll be
damned if I'm going to be out the money for it! Am I right?
Anyway... That is the best advice I can give you, unfortunately.
Call them as soon as you can! Get it replaced!
---==== To Wingsfan:
Your particular issue sounds like the wiring going from the camera's internal systems to the LCD screen may have a break or a short in it. Do you see the same thing in the viewfinder when you open the LCD screen? You didn't mention whether or not that's the case... But this is just a guess.
For BOTH of you...
If you think that you can keep yourself together and composed well enough to play the system... Contact Canon's tech support and see what you can accomplish.
Remember... It's not as if you're going to get in any trouble. The worst they can do is refuse you. You have NOTHING to lose but the money you spent on the camera!
Here is their support info.

We ended up sending the camera in to Canon. $200 unless they find something more wrong. Luckily we have my Nikon D80 still. I will say that Canon replied via e-mail fairly quickly and one paid, said 7-10 business days for the repair.

push the DISPlay button a few times. Located on the bottom just to the right of the view screen.

Remove the SD card from the camera. Slide the tiny switch on the side of the card to its other "unlocked" position. Reinsert the card in the camera. But if you've already tried this, see this link for additional things that you can try.
