Why won't my Canon Digital IXUS 60 Digital Camera record?
- J
  jmccoyAug 14, 2025
  Your Canon Digital Camera might not be recording due to several reasons: the mode switch may be set to playback, the flash might be charging (the indicator will light orange when charged), the memory card could be full or not formatted correctly, or the SD memory card might be write-protected. To resolve this, try setting the mode switch to the appropriate setting, wait for the flash to charge, insert a new memory card or download the images to a computer and erase them from the memory card to make space, format the memory card, or slide the write protect tab of the SD memory card upward.

  If your images are blurred or out of focus on your Canon Digital Camera, it could be due to several reasons. The AF-assist Beam might be set to Off (set it to On in dark places). The camera might be moving when the shutter button is pressed (use the self-timer or a tripod). The subject might be out of focal range (shoot with the subject at the correct shooting distance). Or the subject might be hard to focus on (use the focus lock or AF lock).

  If your Canon Digital Camera won't operate, check the following: ensure the power is turned on by pressing the power button, confirm that the memory card slot/battery cover is securely closed, verify that the battery has sufficient voltage (insert a fully charged battery), and polish the terminals with a soft cotton swab before charging or using the battery to ensure good contact.

Why is my Canon Digital IXUS 60 taking dark pictures?
- J
  jenniferchaneyAug 25, 2025
  If the subject in your recorded image is too dark, it could be due to insufficient light for shooting (set the flash to flash on), the subject being underexposed because the surroundings are too bright (set the exposure compensation to a positive setting, use AE lock or the spot metering function), or the subject being too far away for the flash to reach (shoot within correct shooting distance of the subject when using the built-in flash or raise the ISO speed).

How to stop Canon Digital IXUS 60 from overexposing images?
- S
  Steven GriffinAug 27, 2025
  If the subject in your recorded image is too bright, or the image flashes white, it could be because the subject is too close, making the flash too strong (shoot within correct shooting distance of the subject when using the built-in flash), the subject is overexposed because the surroundings are too dark (set the exposure compensation to a negative setting, use AE lock or the spot metering function), too much light is shining directly into the camera or is being reflected off the subject (change the shooting angle), or the flash is set to on (set the flash to flash off).

How to reduce noise in Canon Digital IXUS 60 images?
- M
  Maria CooperAug 30, 2025
  If your image contains noise, it is possible that the ISO speed is too high. Higher ISO speeds and the High ISO Auto setting may increase image noise. For higher image quality, select as low an ISO speed as possible. In certain modes, the ISO speed increases and noise can appear.

How to unlock SD card on Canon Digital Camera?
- R
  Randy ChristianSep 3, 2025
  If the "Card locked!" message appears on your Canon Digital Camera, the SD memory card's write protect tab is likely set to "Write protect". To resolve this, slide the tab upward when recording to, erasing from or formatting the SD memory card.

What causes slow shutter speed on Canon Digital IXUS 60?
- S
  Steven CarpenterSep 6, 2025
  A slow shutter speed has likely been selected because of insufficient lighting. To resolve this, raise the ISO speed or set the flash to any setting other than flash off, or secure the camera to something, such as a tripod.
