What to do if my Canon PowerShot G3 Digital Camera will not record?

  Dakota LoveAug 18, 2025
  If your Canon Digital Camera isn't recording, ensure it's in Shooting mode, not replay or computer/printer mode. If the orange indicator is blinking, wait for it to light steadily, indicating the flash is charged. Also, check if the CF card is full; if so, insert a new one or download images to your computer to free up space. Lastly, the CF card may not be formatted correctly; try formatting it.

Why are my Canon PowerShot G3 pictures blurred?

  michaelscottAug 23, 2025
  If your Canon Digital Camera images are blurred, it may be due to camera movement when pressing the shutter. Try to remain still or use a tripod, especially at slow shutter speeds. Ensure that your finger or other objects aren't blocking the AF-assist Beam. Also, check if the AF-assist Beam is set to [On]. Finally, make sure the subject is within the focal range; maintain at least 50 cm (1.6 ft.) distance or use macro mode for close-ups.

Why is my Canon PowerShot G3 taking overexposed photos?
- N
  Nicholas FosterAug 30, 2025
  If your Canon Digital Camera is taking overexposed photos, and the subject is too close, adjust the flash output with the flash exposure compensation function. If the subject is bright compared to the background, set the exposure compensation to a negative (-) setting. Adjust the shooting angle if light shines directly on the subject or reflects off the subject into the camera. If the flash is set to On, set it to Auto or Off.

  If your Canon Digital Camera battery drains quickly, it could be due to reduced capacity from disuse for a year or more after being fully charged, or the battery life has been exceeded. In either case, replace the battery pack with a new one.
