DO ANYONE HAVE AN IDEA, HOW I CAN BRING BACK TO LIFE MY A95 THAT STARTED GIVING ME BLANK SHOTS OF RECENT ? JERRY.

THE LAST TIME I USED IT WAS FOR VIDEOING SOME EVENT.

It is not known what has happened in your case, but you can try to reset the camera and see if it works :

a. Turn the camera on, either in shooting mode or viewing mode.
b. Press Menu button for more than 5 seconds or until the reset screen appears.
c. Press OK to reset.

Since you mentioned using video last, I'm going to agree with Bukit here that you may have a setting that was inadvertently changed while recording, and a factory reset could fix the problem. Let us know if you're still having issues.

Check out

this service

advisory from Canon regarding it.

Malfunction:
It has been confirmed that the connecting parts of the internal wiring of the CCD used in

affected products may become disconnected, especially if the affected products are stored

or used in high-temperature and high-humidity environments. If this occurs, the signal is

not output from the CCD normally in Shooting Mode, which may cause a distorted image or the

absence of an image. This malfunction can be confirmed on the LCD monitor screen during

shooting. The same malfunction also appears on the recorded image.

Canon's Response:
Effective immediately, and regardless of warranty status, Canon will repair, free of

charge, the products listed above exhibiting the above-mentioned malfunction if Canon

determines that the malfunction is caused by the CCD image sensor. Canon will also cover

the cost of shipping and handling in connection with this repair.
