What to do if my Canon PowerShot A590 IS will not record?
If your Canon Digital Camera isn't recording, check if it's in playback mode or connected to a computer/printer; if so, switch to shooting mode. Ensure the flash is fully charged, indicated by the orange light. Verify that the memory card isn't full; if it is, insert a new one or transfer images to a computer to free up space.

Why are my Canon PowerShot A590 IS pictures blurry?

Also, ensure that the AF-assist Beam is set to [On] for better focusing in dark places. Make sure your subject is within the correct focal range and that the camera isn't set to an unintended function like macro. If the subject is hard to focus on, use the focus lock or manual focus feature.
