Press Func set., on the left hand side of the display third down is the drive mode, you can choose the time you want to set you self-timer for. Hope you find it. =)

Unfortunately, you have to force the battery door (very carefully) to open it, and find what is wrong with it.

It is more likely that when closed the battery door, it was forced and it slided out of one guide channels.

You need to practice a little bit before to try it with force (genlty but with firm force), but the only way to do it is slide the button to open it, and at the same time slide to the side and pull the battery door, everything at the same time. Try it until you are able to open it.

Using any kind of tool (such a plastic pry tool, a small screwdriver, etc) to force will leave marks in the housing, and it's very possible that the plastic locking tabs will break, causing that you will open it, but unable to close properly again.

Best regards,

Make sure you are using Lithium batteries. Alkaline batteries will go dead immediately in this camera. I've tried it.

It's very likely the CCD sensor that needs to be replaced. If you need to have it serviced, this place is excellent for the Powershots and not much at all if you need to have one fixed: www.camerasandparts.com
Before having it fixed, press the DISP button first and make sure you just didn't turn the display off. If you end up needing service for the Canon, that place above is really great for these cameras.

SOURCE: My camera Canon Powershot G9 and it stopped working. After checking the battery, I saw that it showed 3.78 V.I ordered a new one called STK's Canon NB-2LH Battery - 1800 mAH for Canon.http://amzn

The camera probably has a loose screw inside which can short circuit something out. If you need to have it serviced, I'd recommend this place: www.camerasandparts.com They are excellent for the Canons and not expensive at all. I know they automatically do a correction to the G9's for this specific problem so it doesn't keep happening too. Good luck with it.
