I have a Canon Powershot A1000IS and it has suddenly stopped working. When I press the on/off button: - the lens does not work - the default canon picture is displayed on the screen - the little green light flashes (as if it was transferring images) - it turns off after 30sec. What is the problem?

Definitely sounds like you have a bad CCD. There is good news for you though. Canon recognized this particular model's CCD as faulty, and it is under recall! This means they will repair or replace your camera free of charge.

From Canon website: "U.S. residents are kindly directed to contact the Canon Customer Support Center for further assistance at 1-800-828-4040. Support hours are Monday thru Friday - 8:00 AM to 12:00 midnight; and Saturday 10:00 AM to 8:00 PM (all times EST). Alternatively, if electronic support is preferred, please send your email to [email protected]"

Explain to them you have a Canon PowerShot A75 digital camera with a bad CCD and you were looking to get it serviced by them under the recall.

Good luck from darntoothysam.com

I have a Canon A460 that does this every now and then. Usually if I removed the batteries and put them back in, it does the trick. If that doesn't work, and the camera will stay on, try resetting it. Click Menu> Tools and then scroll all the way to the last option Reset All. Good luck!

SHOWS LENSE ERROR, RESTART THE CAMERA, AND SHUTDOWN AUTOMATICALLY CANON A 1000 IS POWERSHOT MODEL

Unfortunately, many cameras that fall prey to lens error problems can only be corrected by professional repair. But, here are some last resort troubleshooting steps that you can try that may correct it. They only seem to work for less than 40% of the lens errors, but if the camera is out of warranty (or repair cost approaches that of the camera), they're worth that try.

Lens won't retract

If lens won't retract, it is either the battery needs replacement or your camera needs service.

Canon offers an excellent service. If it is under warranty, they will repair it at no cost.

Good luck!

How to set the timer for a self portrait on a A1000IS canon power shot

In the camera/shooting mode, press the bottom of the 4-way button and you will see the drive mode options appear on the LCD. The top icon (square) should be highlighted. Scroll with the up/down buttons to the 10 second or 2 second delay icon, and then press the Func/Set button in the middle. To return to normal, do the same thing but select the square icon.
