the image is all white or has lines through it.

I would like to know why , when I take a picture with or without the flash , the image is all white or has lines through it. Does it have something to do with the settings or does it need repair?

Thanks

You may be disappointed with contacting Canon as the SD750 is not included on the recall list. However, you mention the camera is now working. Many CCD failures were noted to occur after extended periods of camera non-use. Recommend using your camera regularly, as a potential preventative measure from reoccurrence of the symptoms. Make sure some of these photos are in outdoor daylight conditions. An alternative is to take a close-up photo of a lit standard light bulb. Another variation is to set the shutter open to 15 seconds while photographing the lightbulb. Some people have reported this as a means to jog the CCD back to life.

Official Canon Response:
Thank you for contacting Canon product support. We value you as a Canoncustomer and appreciate the opportunity to assist you. I apologize for the difficulty you have experienced with the image on your PowerShot S2 IS. Unfortunately, from what you describe, it sounds like there is a camera malfunction. We could try to reset your camera to see if we can clear this issue:
1. Insert a memory card with known good images on it into the camera.
2. Power the camera on to the Playback mode.
3. Press the DISPLAY (DISP) button to enable the LCD panel, and observethe LCD.
a. If the images are displayed properly, please proceed to step four.
b. If the images are not displayed, or a "NO IMAGES" message appears, please ensure that the memory card contains known good images.
c. If the card contains known good images, and the issue persists with a second memory card, the camera will require service.
4. Switch the camera to the Camera mode. You may use any shooting mode(i.e. Auto, Manual).
5. Press the DISPLAY (DISP) button to enable the LCD panel.
6. Point the camera at a well-lit scene and observe the LCD and/or viewfinder. We should also reset your camera to factory defaults as well:
1. Remove the batteries, date & time battery and memory card from the camera.
a. Your date and time battery (CR1220) is located in the the same compartment as the AA batteries.
2. Let the camera sit with the batteries and memory card removed for approximately 20 minutes.
3. Reinstall the batteries and power on the camera. If the LCD and/or viewfinder remain black, the camera requires service.

Since the camera is more than one year old, it is out of warranty. We have two options available: you may participate in the Canon Loyalty Program, or send the camera in for repair.

As a first step towards resolving your issue, we suggest that you restore the camera's default settings. You can reset all of the menu and button operation settings to default except for Date/Time, Language,and Video System. Please try resetting the camera using the following steps:

1. Take the SD card and batteries out of the camera for 20 minutes.
2. Please use a clean pencil eraser to rub the contacts inside the battery compartment and on the battery door. Please do not store the batteries in the camera for travel. The batteries will discharge even if the camera is not powered on.
3. Place a fresh set of (or fully recharged) batteries in the camera.
4. Turn the camera on.
5. Move the camera to TV mode(the wheel with AUTO,M,TV,...)
6. Set the exposure time to 15 seconds(15")
7. Take a picture.
8. After 7 seconds remove the batteries and put them back on.
9. Repeat the procedure until it works.

PLEASE Note: You could also just quickly remove the lid of the batteriesand put it back on. If this does not resolve the issue, the camera will require service.
