Personally, I would send it to Canon for professional service. It may just be a problem with insufficient battery milliamps.

In one of my canon manuals is says about E.. (see the little dots)

Camera malfunctioned. Turn off the power and turn on again, then re-shoot or play back. If the same message recurs frequentely, the camera may be damaged. Note down the error number [xx] and take the camera to a custumer support help desk. If this message happens immeadiately after you have taken a shot, the camera may not have shot the picture. Switch to play back mode and check whether the image was actually recorded.

Sorry if I can't help you more, but Canon does not give more information.

Canon E24 error means that there is a loose connection inside the camera, or even a broken (cracked) flexible pcb.

Open the camera up and check all pcb connections, especially to the LCD and to the lens assembly. With the camera open, power it up and wiggle each connector in turn to see the effect, but make absolutely sure not to touch any of the flash circuitry as it can give you a shock and a burn (absolutely do not do this at all if you have a pacemaker fitted). You'll need to have a set of jewellers' screwdrivers and an anti-static wrist strap (properly earthed) whilst doing this. If I've lost you already, then it's not a DIY repair.

I cannot be more specific as you spent no time at all to provide exact model details, nor even a proper question, sorry.

If it's a battery compatibility,just replace Canon Digital IXUS 60 battery to have a try.

Hi,
you get this error message E24 because your lens is slightly out of alignment. Cycling the camera on/off several times will serve to help the lens to work it's way back in alignment.
Even though your battery may be fully charged, as a Lithium Ion battery ages, it begins to lose capacity so you don't have enough power to take any still . Try a different battery.
Clean the battery contacts with a pencil eraser. Sometimes, a dirty battery contact can prevent the battery from providing all the current the camera needs.

Hope this helps.

A technician would need to replace the main board.

You have 2 choices here, one is send the camera into Canon for exchange or replace the Camera, this would be based on cost. You can't fix it as no parts are available from the manufacturer to the public.

hi
I was happily using Cannon IXUS 750on one of my long vacations when the memory card almost got full. perhaps I clicked once or twice to take a picture when the card was full. ever since the camera displays Memory Card Error.

These are almost all the photos I took on my camera since a long time now. Could anybody pleeeese help me in retrieving my photos and recordings?

thanks v much

I found the answer on another site and was able to fix my camera myself. E24 means your LCD display has come unplugged. What happens if you rotate the screen too much you tighten up the wire and it pulls the connection out of its socket. There ar 4 screws on hedispla, unscrew ad take th back off the screen. Unwind the screen until the wires loosen up. Replug in the loose connector. Resecure the back

Defective mechanism,  a stucked mechanism is present. camcorder are smart it can detects error and shuts down itself for safety. earlier models dominoes the defect if the user is not quick enough to react when something goes wrong with the camera. You need professional service to fix it.
