Canon Powershot A650 IS - LCD Display stays blank.

Camera was working fine, but when I went to take a picture the LCD display stayed blank (black). Tried the display button and a very faint image appeared in display. When I point the camera at my computer monitor and move the camera to the left or right the image on the LCD display moves, but in the opposite direction. The same as looking at yourself on your computer through a webcam. I called Canon Canada and talked to a tech but was told this camera was not covered in the advisory in regards to the CCD malfunctions in the other camera. Has anyone had a similar problem and if so what was the cause? I was olso told because the camera was over 12 months old it repairs would probably not be covered.

I'd try resetting your camera. Also, update the firmware if a new version is available at Canon's website.

Unfortunately, the A650 isn't a part of the faulty CCD recall. But if you suspect a faulty CCD, send it in to Canon and see what they say. If faulty, they could replace it. But they may also charge you for a failed CCD since the camera is out of warranty.

If the ccd cause the trouble, it can be fix it. In Indonesia sometime it can be trade in with the new one.
