For people looking for a fairly inexpensive but reliable point-and-shoot digital camera, Canon's Powershot line, including the A620, is a good value. At around $400, the A620 is a great camera for everyday use. That doesn't mean it can't have problems, however. Learning a few troubleshooting techniques for your Powershot A620 means never missing a great shot.
Instructions
1. Check the power. The power button is located on the top of the camera body. Check the indicator lights to ensure the camera is powering on. Make sure the camera has fresh batteries. It's a good idea to always keep a fresh set of batteries with the camera. Also, check to make sure both the battery cover and memory card slot cover are closed tightly. Finally, make sure the lens cover is opened fully before attempting to take a picture.
2. Check the memory card. If the camera is powering on but you are having difficulty taking pictures, make sure you have a properly formatted memory card in the camera and make sure it is not full. Also, make sure the card is not write-protected. It is always a good idea to keep at least one spare memory card with the camera at all times.
3. Check the A620's settings. The A620 is a full-featured camera, so there are numerous settings that can be adjusted. Make sure you have read your owner's manual and familiarized yourself with all of them. If you are having flash problems, make sure the flash is not set to "Off." If you are unsure use the flash, it is best to set it to "Auto" and leave it there. Check the shutter speed and ISO settings as well.
4. Check the camera's mode setting. If you are having problems taking pictures, make sure the camera is in "Shooting" mode. If you are having trouble editing pictures or video or viewing pictures on a display device, make sure the camera is in "Playback" mode.
5. Contact Canon customer support. You can contact Canon at (800) 652-2666 or go to Canon.com for help with your Powershot A620.
