  Your Canon Digital Camera might not operate due to several reasons: The camera's power might not be turned on. Press the ON/OFF button for a moment to resolve this. Also, check if the battery cover or CF card slot cover is open and ensure they are securely closed. Insufficient battery voltage can also cause this issue; insert a fully charged battery or use the AC Adapter Kit ACK500 (sold separately). Lastly, poor contact between the camera and battery terminals can prevent operation; wipe the terminals with a clean dry cloth.

Why is the subject in my Canon PowerShot S410 Digital ELPH Digital Camera image too dark?

  Kathy RichmondAug 26, 2025
  If the subject in your recorded image is too dark, it could be due to insufficient light. Try setting the flash to on. If the subject is dark compared to the background, adjust the exposure compensation to a positive (+) setting or use the spot metering function. Also, ensure the subject is within the flash range: within 3.5 m (11 ft.) at the maximum wide angle or 2.0 m (6.6 ft.) at the telephoto end. You can also raise the ISO sensitivity.

  If the subject in your recorded image is too bright, it may be because the subject is too close when using the flash; stay at least 46 cm (1.5 ft.) away. If the subject is bright compared to the background, set the exposure compensation to a negative (-) setting or use the spot metering function. Adjust the shooting angle if light is shining directly on or reflecting off the subject. Also, check if the flash is on and set it to off if necessary.

Why won't the lens retract on my Canon PowerShot S410 Digital ELPH Digital Camera?

  Shawn SmithSep 12, 2025
  If the lens will not retract on your Canon Digital Camera, it might be because the battery cover or CF card slot cover was opened while the power was on. Close the battery cover or CF card slot cover first, and then turn the power off. Alternatively, the battery cover or CF card slot cover may have been opened while recording to the CF card. Again, close the cover and then turn the power off.
