Canon PowerShot - Answered Questions & Fixed Issues

Check if your battery door is perfectly aligned and has no gaps if it has a gap then you have to push or tape it to line perfectly without any gaps and if the door perfect and still showing same thing you have change batteries make sure to use either Duracell or rechargeable 2.5v batteries

Question edited for clarity. You think 'buyed' is the correct word in there :>D Question moved from Canon Computers. If it was rusty, it may have fallen in water, and voltage from the battery damaged components on the main board. https://www.google.com/search?q=canon+a640+repair+manual ..

Your solutions are varied, but the results will be (mostly) the same. Option 1: Lower the resolution and quality settings on your camera. If you are seeing 3-4 MB per photo, then they are probably at least 4000 pixels wide, and your file size will be larger to reflect that. If you set the camera to a lower quality and or resolution, you will for sure save disk space. Consequently, you will also lose image quality. If you are mainly archiving the photos for the purpose of viewing them online, on your PC, or through a digital picture frame, this is no big deal. If you intend to print, especially a large print, you will see pixelation occur in the print. This will take smooth parts of your picture and chunk colors together in a "boxy" appearance. Your second option, is to import your photos in a program like Google Picasa or many other free options, and then convert your image to a compressed format, such as a compressed JPEG or PNG file. PNG files are usually the better choice for file size, but not every devices (frames, TVs, etc.) recognize PNG files. So you may want to stick with JPEG depending on your use for your photos. Additionally, you can lower the resolution of hi-res photos within Picasa (or its alternatives) after importing the photos. This is the preferred route as you can take every photo like you want to print it as a poster, and then choose which photos to drop the resolution. This gives you the safety of shooting each picture as if you want to keep the quality and then later decide which are worth archiving at what resolution. Remember, the detail in a photo also reflects upon its size, not just resolution, if you take one 12 MP picture of the sky and another of a bunch of different color balloons, the balloon will have more color data and thus a higher file size.

What program are you using to download the pics? Is it the same program you are trying to download the videos to? It probably only handles still photos, not movies. You could use a card reader and download the videos to a folder you create on your desktop and then use a program like Windows Media player or something that came with your camera to watch them. Sending videos to others through e-mail is discouraged. They are extremely large files, take forever to upload, forever to download (especially if your friends have a dial-up connection), and some ISP's won't even permit the upload or download because of the size. To share, burn the videos to DVD and pass them out to friends or upload the videos to an online site that your friends can log onto.

See this link. You have the classic symptoms of image sensor (CCD) failure. Canon will fix this for specific models (yours included) at no cost regardless of warranty status. If you don't live in the US, contact your regional Canon service agency.

REASON FOR BINOCULARS TO SHOW DOUBLE IMAGES, THEY AREN'T BROKEN,
THE "FUZZ" OR "FREQUENCY SNOW" ALL AROUND, VISIBLE TO CAMERAS,
RECORDERS ETC. THE SHADOW ENHANCEMENT AND VISUAL INTAKE OF SUCH,
ALSO SEEMS THAT BLURRY IS EVERYWHERE, IT IS NOT YOUR VISION, IT
IS THE MAGNETIC ENERGY , NOTHING SEEMS TO WANT TO FOCUS, SEEMS
AS THOUGH THERE IS A MIST OR FUZZY FILM EVERYWHERE. tHESE ARE
THE PHYSICAL SIGNS OF THE EARTHS NATURAL AND NECESSARY CHANGE.

Have you verified that it is in the picture and not the screen by transferring the photos to your computer?You way have some dust or lint that got on the lens if the photos have that problem.Just take an eyeglass cloth and spray wither eyeglass cleaner, or just a little dab of alcohol and then wipe the lens clean.

Touch the screen to pause playback and display the movie control panel. 2. Drag up across the screen to increase the volume. Touching the volume indicator displays the volume panel.

What's more likely to be the issue is that the spring loading on the door has loosened over time, and the battery simply isn't being pressed up against the contacts in the camera firmly enough.

You have a bad button board . This is a single board with a series of small button switches that control all these functions. Most repair shop will charge around 75.00 to fix.

Color Accent:

• enter this mode
• point to a color you'd like to highlight
• press Menu
• shoot
  

This will be the only color, all other colors will now be shades of gray.

Color Swap:

• enter this mode;
• camera will ask you to input Original and New colors;
• use Up and Down to select how loose/precise color selection needs to be;
• point camera to something with Original color and press Left
• point camera to something with New color and press Right
  
• shoot
  

Everything with the Original color will be shown with the New color.

Both of these procedures are described in the Advanced User Guide, pages 59-63 ( http://gdlp01.c-wss.com/gds/0900001430/PSSD600IXUS60CUGad-EN.pdf )

Sounds like the camera was adjusted for flourescent lighting. The PowerShot should have a menu with various Lighting scenarios such as natural, outdoor, nighttime, sepia, etc. I would check this first. It should be easy to find. If you can't adjust the color properly with these pre-set options, there may be an RGB adjuster although I doubt it. You can certainly use a photo editor on your computer easily as well to adjust the color balance easily. If you don't use Photoshop there are free online photo editors such as http://www.gimp.org. You want to look for Color Balance and an RGB slide bar, it is quite fun to play around with.

Try Picassa. All you need to do is to make some basic correction. very very minimum that you dont even know that there is a change. save the photo back into a different location. You will see a change in the pic size.

Alternatively, google for Digital Photo Resizer. I used a trial version for sometime and it helped.

The best way to download pictures from your camera to your computer involves removing the memory card from the camera and plugging it into a card reader (either built-in to the computer or connected via USB or FireWire). This is likely to be faster than connecting the camera to the computer, and won't run down your camera's batteries.

Once the card is plugged in, it will appear to your computer as a removable drive. You can use the operating system's drag&drop facility to copy pictures from the card to the computer's hard drive, the same way you copy any other files. Or you can use any photo cataloging program.

There must be either weakness in the contacts or the contacts are dirty. https://www.google.com/search?q=Canon+Powershot+a1100+will+only+switch+on+and+stay+on+if+I+press+the+battery+cover ..

Question edited to add full make and model. Question moved from Dishwashers to Canon PowerShot A630. https://www.google.com/search?q=take+the+back+off+the+screen+of+A630+camera Personally, I would send it to Canon for professional service. It may just be a problem with insufficient battery milliamps. https://www.google.com/search?q=A630+camera+E24+Error+Code ..
