Why is my Canon Digital Camera battery draining so fast?
- C
  Christine BanksJul 26, 2025
  Your Canon Digital Camera battery might be draining quickly because: * The battery pack's capacity has been reduced due to prolonged disuse (e.g., a year). Try fully charging and discharging the battery pack several times to restore its capacity. * The battery pack has exceeded its lifespan and needs replacement with a new one. * The surrounding temperature is low, reducing the battery charge. Try warming the battery in your pocket before recording in cold environments.

  If your Canon Digital Camera is not recording, check the following: * Ensure the Mode Dial is set to (Auto), (Manual), or (Stitch Assist), not (Play) or (PC). * Make sure you are using a fully charged Battery Pack NB-5H or a 2CR5 lithium battery. Insufficient battery voltage can prevent recording. * Verify that you have inserted a fully charged battery pack of the correct type.

  Matthew ContrerasAug 7, 2025
  If your Canon Digital Camera image appears blurred, out of focus, or not as intended, it might be due to: * Camera movement during the shot. Be careful to hold the camera still when pressing the shutter button. * The subject being out of focal range. Ensure a minimum distance of 18 inches (46 cm) between the lens and the subject in normal mode. * The AF auxiliary light emitter being blocked. Make sure your fingers or other objects are not obscuring the AF auxiliary light emitter.

Why won't the flash fire on my Canon POWERSHOT S10?
- L
  Lisa PetersonAug 13, 2025
  If the flash on your Canon Digital Camera isn't firing, consider these possibilities: * The camera might be set to slow shutter mode. Switch to a different mode. * The flash mode might be set to Flash Off. Change the setting to Flash On. * The subject could be too far away. Ensure the subject is within 1.5 ft. to 10.8 ft. (wide) or 7.5 ft. (telephoto) [17 cm to 3.3 m (wide) or 2.3 m (telephoto)] for proper flash range. * The subject may be too close. Set the flash to Auto Flash or Flash On. * Light shining directly on the camera from the subject can interfere with the flash. Adjust the shooting angle.
