is it borked?
Is the camera in question a G10?
Dunno but you're cheating at Scrabble
it's an ixus 80is
Looks like a sensor fault to me. It might be worth contacting Canon's service centre. I've got a Nikon Coolpix 5700, which I bought in '03, and a couple of years ago the sensor suddenly went on the fritz. Took it to the shop, and they said forget it, uneconomical to fix. ( The camera cost £800!). Had a browse on t'internet, and there seemed to have been a fault, so contacted Nikon, who confirmed there was a batch fault and they fixed it for free. Can't hurt to get in touch.
Only take photos of zebras from now on.
Sorted.
Second the one about contacting Canon. Log onto their website and they will help you out.
have just emailed them, cheers
i'd second xipe. have a canon a75 which is about 5 years old and it developed a similar fault which developed into a catastrophic failure while at the welsh botanical gardens (a good day out btw).
went online and found that sony had provided the sensors for that camera which had all had a fault on. sent it off to a canon dealer and they fixed it and sent it back free of charge.
works perfectly now.
tops.
canon official dealer say £130 to fix, not really economical when it only cost £149!!
Woo ! new camera shopping, that's almost as good as new bike shopping 🙂
New camera ahoy!
