Why are my Canon POWERSHOT A75 Digital Camera shots too dark?
- L
  Lauren RosalesSep 2, 2025
  If your subject comes out underexposed (too dark) when using your Canon Digital Camera, it could be due to insufficient light for shooting. Set the flash on. Alternatively, if the subject is darker than the surroundings, set exposure compensation to a positive value or use the spot metering function. Also, the subject may be too far for the flash to reach. When the flash is used, the distance between lens and subject should not exceed 4.2 m (14 ft.) at wide angle and 2.5 m (8.2 ft.) at telephoto. Try raising the ISO sensitivity.

What to do if Canon POWERSHOT A75 Digital Camera batteries are consumed quickly?
- C
  Christopher WardSep 1, 2025
  If the batteries in your Canon Digital Camera are being consumed quickly, consider these factors: * Ensure you are using the correct type of batteries: Use only unused AA-size alkaline batteries or Canon AA-size NiMH batteries. * Low ambient temperatures can drop battery capacity. If shooting in a cold area, keep the batteries warm (by placing them in an inner pocket, etc.) until ready to use them. * Dirty battery terminals can affect performance. Wipe them well with a dry cloth before use. * Batteries that have not been used for over a year may have reduced performance. Performance should return to normal after several charging cycles. * The batteries may have exceeded their life. Replace all 4 batteries with new ones.

What to do if Canon Digital Camera shots are blurry?
- C
  Charles YoungAug 31, 2025
  If your Canon Digital Camera shots are blurry, it could be due to a few reasons. First, the camera might have been moving when you took the shot, so hold the camera steady. Second, the autofocus function may be hampered by an obstruction to the AF-assist beam; ensure you are not blocking the AF-assist beam flash part with a finger or other object. Finally, the AF-assist beam settings may be set to [Off]; turn the [AF-assist beam] setting [On].

  Roger ThomasAug 30, 2025
  Your Canon Digital Camera might not be functioning due to several reasons: * The camera is turned off. Press the ON/OFF button for a few moments. * The CF card slot cover or the battery cover is open. Ensure the cover is closed securely. * Batteries are loaded in the wrong direction. Reload the batteries in the correct direction. * Batteries are depleted. Replace with unused alkaline or fully recharged batteries (four AA-size batteries) or use a household power source. * Batteries are not the right type. Use only unused AA-size alkaline batteries or Canon AA-size NiMH batteries. * Batteries are not making good electrical contact with the camera. Wipe the battery terminals with a clean dry cloth.

What to do if Canon POWERSHOT A75 rechargeable batteries do not charge?
- L
  Lisa LewisAug 27, 2025
  If your Canon Digital Camera's rechargeable batteries are not charging in the separately sold battery charger, make sure that batteries were placed in the charger in the correct direction. Also check for poor electrical contact between batteries and the charger. Be sure to set batteries firmly into the charger and ensure that the power cord is firmly connected to the charger and plugged into the power outlet. Clean dirty battery terminals with a dry cloth before charging. Finally, the batteries may have exceeded their life; replace all 4 batteries with new ones.

Why is my Canon Digital Camera not shooting?

  rachel05Aug 26, 2025
  Your Canon Digital Camera might not be shooting because it is in Playback mode. Change to the Shooting mode. Another reason could be that the flash is charging. Wait until the flash charges; you can press the shutter button when the indicator next to the viewfinder lights a steady orange. Finally, the CF card could be full. Insert a new CF card or download images to your computer and erase them from the card to free up space.

How to fix a Canon POWERSHOT A75 that doesn't function?
- P
  Philip StewartAug 22, 2025
  If your Canon Digital Camera isn't turning on, first, ensure it is indeed switched on by pressing the ON/OFF button. Check that the CF card slot cover and the battery cover are securely closed. Make sure the batteries are correctly oriented. If the batteries are depleted, replace them with fresh alkaline or fully recharged AA batteries. If using batteries, ensure they are the correct type, such as unused AA-size alkaline or Canon AA-size NiMH batteries. Alternatively, try using a household power source.
