  Heather HarrisonAug 21, 2025
  If your Canon Digital Camera isn't recording, first ensure the mode switch is set to shooting mode. If the flash is charging, wait for the orange indicator light to appear before pressing the shutter button. Check if the memory card is full; if so, insert a new one, or download images to a computer and erase them from the card. Also, verify that the memory card is formatted correctly. Finally, make sure the SD memory card is not write-protected by sliding the write protect tab upward, and if you're using the LCD monitor, ensure it is open.
