SOURCE: ZOOMING PROBLEMS W/PowerShot SD850 IS

I sent my camera off to Canon and they repaired it under warranty for free. It took about a week for them to fix and cost me about $10 to ship with postage, insurance, etc. There was some issue with the optical zoom getting stuck. If your camera has this problem, I would recommend sending it into Canon for repair. Worse case, if it is not broken - you are only out shipping costs. I was lucky since by brother-in-law and I were able to compare camera's side by side and then I knew for certain that it wasn't a user setting.

Black Screen
But does it take usefull pictures? I mean, after you take the picture, can you download it onto the computer?

  • If yes, you probably deactivated the back LCD by mistake. Look for a "display" button (or similar) and push it. It will cycle through all of the available display modes.

  • If not, it's probably a software error. Take the camera to a local electronist or Canon dealer for repairs.

My A540 clicks like it takes a picture but nothing shows on the display screen. When I take the memory card out and insert to computer the frame of pictures show but the photos are black.
A stuck shutter is another common failure mode for digital cameras. The symptoms of a stuck or "sticky" shutter are very similar to CCD image sensor failure. The camera may take black pictures (for shutter stuck closed), or the pictures may be very bright and overexposed, especially when taken outdoors (for shutter stuck open).

To confirm a stuck shutter, put the camera in any mode other than "Auto", and turn the flash OFF (you don't want to blind yourself for the next step). Next look down the lens and take a picture. You should see a tiny flicker in the center of the lens as the shutter opens and closes. If no movement is seen, then you likely have a stuck shutter. If so, please see this link for further info and a simple fix that may help.

But if you do notice shutter movement, then this would then likely be a CCD imager failure. It would in that case require Canon service to repair (1-800-OK-CANON).

Fuzzy pictures
If you have not dropped your camera or otherwise caused damage that would explain the change, then you should first check the settings.  Your camera has both automatic and manual exposure controls.  From what you wrote I expect you want to use the automatic settings.  First check the "dial" on top of the camera, which has a green AUTO setting.  Your manual should explain the settings in  further detail  if necessary.

Can not change the number of images that can be taken
Ok, this is a very easy procedure..
While in picture taking mode, press the set button and it will activate the controls to choose the image resolution. If you select a higher image size or number, it will improve your quality of picture as the number of the resolution you choose gets higher. Simply use the side scroll and the up/down scroll on the back... that will do it for you!
