How do I get out of Movie Mode?

Load up the ATG Canon EOS Utility on your camera & check by shooting tethered. Then view it on a big screen,

This is a problem on the motherboard, sort of like a solenoid that controls the functions of on/off mode and video still mode. it needs a service and possibley a patrt replaced Hope its unjder warranty as it expesnive

Check Mode-Dial of camera. it has set on Movie mode. Select Auto mode to take snaps. this idea is for cysber-shot camera.

perhaps it is in movie mode ? switch the camera to "auto" and take a picture with the same button used to start video recording

Nikon Coolpix s3 powers on OK when switch is on auto mode, but when switched to "Scene" mode cannot shoot, switch back to auto mode / movie mode, or turn off. If power is turn on when switch is in "Movie" mode, everything is OK. Help!

U might need to change the mode in which u are taking the pics. Try setting it to Auto mode.

Sounds like your camera is in manual mode. Manual mode is where you can change the settings like shutter speed, ISO, the appature size. If the appature is to wide (small number) and the shutter speed is to slow (low number like 1/20) you will have an over exsposed picture. You probobly need to put the camera back into auto mode. You may have switched the modes on accedent. The modes usualy say Auto, Macro, Manual, and movie. These are all the presets or the camera modes on your camera. If the camera is set right it will take good pictures inside but be white or over exsposed when taking any outside. Go into the menu and scroll over to the little red camera icon. See if its in manual or auto. Another thing to check is "EV" if its at +6 set it to 0 and try it if you cant find auto mode. S
